Fried Cabbage

January 21, 2020 by Anna 7 Comments

Fried Cabbage with bacon is a simple yet flavorful side dish made with just a few ingredients. Make it in 20 minutes or up to 2 days ahead.

Serve this cabbage with Pork Schnitzel or Mushroom Pork Chops and Mashed Potatoes.

Fried Cabbage is an Irish side dish, but doesn’t have to be served only on St. Patrick’s Day. This dish is quick and delicious and perfect served with pork, chicken or sausage. I start with cooking bacon and then fry the onion and cabbage in the bacon grease. Talk about delicious! You can use it as a side dish or as a topping on grilled sausage or brats.

This Zuppa Toscana is a homemade copycat recipe of the Olive Garden favorite, yet so much better! Make it easy with Italian sausage, kale, potatoes, and bacon.

I like to serve this soup with my Cheddar Bay Biscuits or Easy Garlic Bread.

One of my favorite restaurant soups is this right here, Zuppa Toscana. Now I can make it easily at home, in my own kitchen, with fresh ingredients and adapt to our likings. This famous Tuscan soup is packed with Italian sausage (I used mild, but you can go for spicy), potatoes, kale, and bacon. it’s not only filling and perfect for the cold winter months, but delicious. I serve it with crusty bread or biscuits, to dip in this rich and flavorful soup!
