Gor a beautiful head of cabbage at the farmers market a few weeks back and I needed to cook it before it went bad! Looked up this recipe and it was yummy! Just like grandma and mom use to make! Excited to share with my Canadian fiance 😉

Excellent recipe .I cook it often. Its even better with a little garlic added. ♥️

I made this with no changes. It was very good, though I think next time I will use less oil. 1/3 cup was not necessary in my opinion. I’m from the north and the only way we’ve eaten cabbage was boiled with our corned beef. Now that we live down south, I’m cooking more and more southern food. On to the black eye peas that I always thought were peas….

Didn’t change a thing. Made it in my Air fryer. Delicious!

I omitted the oil for the bacon. I also didn’t add sugar might try it another time when not cooking for my sisters (they’re diabetics). As I prepared it it was delicious!

I prepared the fried cabbage as the recipe directed and everyone loved it! I took it to a Thanksgiving meal at Church and it was snapped up. It was raved about by all that ate it! I will be making it from now on. It was very easy to make! Oh I did use smoked bacan.

I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.

My granny made this for years with a twist: ad d ed green pepper minus sugar the pepper adds its own sweetness, also add crushed garlic, and I use half a green cabbage and half a purple for color and taste. Then throw in some mushrooms and it’s awesome as a side or even a main dish!! I also use more center cut thick sliced bacon chopped to add more meat! Can’t go wrong!! Well worth the minimum a l effort!!

Made several times. My family loves it. I use less oil than the recipe calls for.

I loved this recipe when I saw but I did tweak it it a bit. I used smoked ham hocks instead of bacon. And I also used a stick of butter instead of the cooking oil. And added a tbsp of sugar instead of a pinch. It came out beautifully.

It was wonderful! I added a bit of Chipotle in adobo sauce towards the end to add a smokey spicy touch. Beth
