This recipe for fried cabbage and bacon is anything but bland. As you can see I use a handful of ingredients to really bring in-depth and dimension to the cabbage. As it wilts down and cooks, it really soaks up the flavors for one incredible dish. 

Totally about 15-20 minutes. This fried cabbage comes together quickly. Once you cook your bacon and add in the cabbage along with seasonings, within no time you begin to see your cabbage break down and wilt. Then you know it is ready to dish it up to family and guests. I classify this as one quick dish to make when you don’t have a ton of time. 

Fried cabbage and bacon are best when served fresh, but you can indeed refrigerate your leftovers. Allow your cabbage to cool slightly and then place it in a container that is airtight. I then wrap it with aluminum foil and place it in the fridge for up to 3 days. With each day the cabbage will become soggier, so I do recommend cooking it sooner than later. 

If you don’t plan to use all of your fresh cabbage up, you can freeze what you don’t use. Just cut your cabbage into quarters and then separate the leaves. Place in a sealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 4 weeks. Then when you go to use it, thaw first and then dice and use. It will not have the crisp texture as fresh but works great for putting in soups and stews or making a fried cabbage dish.
