Well its not smoked or grilled but the bacon counts for something right? We do this often in the cold months and it makes for a pretty filling meal. Here is how i do it. CAUTION LOTS OF BACON GREASE!

I start with diced bacon. This was a 12oz pack. Put it in the cast iron pot and start to cook it down

A little sizzling action

Then i cut a cabbage in quarters and remove the stem/hard white core. I like to also seperate the inner white parts from the outer more leafy green parts. I cook down the white parts first because it takes longer to get soft. And i like my cabbage cooked way down . The green leafy parts dont have to be as cooked down just soft.

Then rough chop the white parts and start adding to the pot. I cant get it all in at once but as it cooks down i just add more untill its all in there.

Keep stiring it up and folding in the bacon while its cooking down

Once all the white parts are added in and cooked down real good it looks something like this

Then its time to start adding the outer green leafy parts and get those cooked until soft

I like to eat mine with a couple of over easy eggs seasoned with salt pepper and some chilli powder.

jcam222 jcam222 this should be right up your alley on the keto thing. I'm pretty sure this qualifies for that.

Hmm, I often eat Bacon pieces mixed with Eggs, but never tried that with Cabbage.
Odds are I'd love it, but Mrs Bear might not like the After-effects!!
Thanks for showing!

Sowsage you are right we love that in my house!! Cook cabbage with bacon is one of our favs. I’ll have to try it with eggs I’ve not done that. We often eat it solo or as a side for steaks. Yours looks great.

Thanks! Yes definitely try the eggs. If you like a runny yolk youll love it! The yolk really adds something to it for sure!
 
well now I know how to incorporate cabbage in my bean soups and baked beans. thanks.. I only use bag beans never canned
 
My Wife and I must be odd! I've made Fried Cabbage and Onions in Bacon Grease and we Hated it! Now in our defense, we bother grew up on Cabbage and Onions Fried in a lot of Butter, and eat it frequently as Halushki, Cabbage and Noodles. We also eat it as a side and as a filling for Pierogi. I have not tried Fried Cabbage and Eggs but seeing how good your dish looks, it will be going to the top of my list. Thanks for posting...JJ
