This sautéed cabbage with bacon is an easy
and delicious side dish. You can serve it on a weeknight or even for
Thanksgiving. I have always been a fan of cabbage because it is slightly
sweet, tender and crisp when sautéed. The bacon gives a great smoky and
savory flavor. Sautéed cabbage is also a versatile dish; you can easily
make this vegetarian by omitting the bacon and using vegetable stock instead of
chicken stock, also using olive oil instead of the bacon grease and butter.
Overall, this sautéed cabbage with bacon makes a wonderful side dish. Enjoy!
