Southern Bacon-Fried Cabbage - A MUST for New Year’s Day - A Long Time Southern Custom

Southern Bacon - Fried Cabbage

12 thick sliced bacon, cut into chunks
2 large onions, chopped
1 large head of cabbage, cored and chopped
3 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

Cook the bacon in a large cooker over medium heat until done but not crisp. Remove the bacon to a small plate and drain all but 4-5 tablespoons of the grease from the cooker. Add the onions to the remaining bacon grease and cook about four minutes, until soft, but not browned.

Add the chopped cabbage and stir to coat with the bacon grease. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, and stir well to season all the cabbage.

Simmer, covered, on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Check for doneness. Keep cooking if it’s not quite done. Stir the bacon back into the cabbage, about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Serve immediately. 

NOTE: This is delicious reheated.
