How to Make Fried Cabbage:
- Cut bacon into slices and fry in a skillet until crispy. Remove bacon to a paper towel to drain and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter into the skillet with the bacon grease. When butter has melted, add onions.
- Stir in slaw mix and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring often until onions and cabbage are softened and just start to caramelize.
- Stir in bacon and serve immediately.
A whole head of cabbage, shredded can be used in place of the slaw mix. Add in a shredded carrot too if you like.
Fried cabbage is best served immediately.
How to Store and Reheat:
Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet with 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until heated through.
