Christina's Southern Fried Cabbage
A hearty one-pan Southern cabbage dish with bacon, sausage, and potatoes. If you're short on seasoning blends, just use Tony's and Cajun seasoning.
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced large
- 1 long smoked andouille sausage, sliced thick
- 1 small cabbage, chopped chunky
- 1 large onion, sliced thick
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced thick
- 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, sliced thick
- 6 garlic cloves, sliced
- ½ bag baby yellow potatoes, whole
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Tony's Creole seasoning
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning (Adobo)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
Steps
- Add bacon to a cold pan and cook slowly until the fat renders and the bacon is lightly crispy.
- Remove bacon; drain some fat if desired, but leave a good amount in the pan.
- Brown the sausage in the bacon fat, then remove.
- Add potatoes, peppers, and onions; sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until lightly colored.
- Add garlic and all the seasonings; sauté for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant and spices are bloomed.
- Add cabbage and butter; stir everything together.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the cabbage sweat for 10 minutes.
- Add hot sauce and mix through.
- Add broth, mix, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or more until potatoes are cooked through and cabbage is tender to your liking.
- Return the bacon and sausage to the pan; simmer for 1 more minute.
- Taste for salt — go easy, as most ingredients are already salty.
- Sprinkle in dried parsley, mix through, and serve.
