Notes
Use Fresh Cabbage: Opt for a firm, fresh head of cabbage for the best texture and flavor. Green cabbage works best for this recipe.
Crisp the Bacon First: Cook the bacon until crispy, then remove it from the pan. Use the rendered bacon grease to cook the cabbage for extra flavor.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the cabbage in batches if needed to ensure it caramelizes nicely instead of steaming.
