This versatile side dish can complement an array of main courses or stand alone as a hearty meal. The following recipe will guide you through creating this tasty and comforting dish.
Instructions:
- Wash the cabbage thoroughly under running water.
- Cut the cabbage into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, removing the core.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not already shredded.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, turning occasionally (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Reserve 1 to 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.
- Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- Season the cabbage with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Crumble the crispy bacon into small pieces and add it back to the skillet with the cabbage.
- Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cabbage and bacon mixture.
- Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the bacon cheddar cabbage hot as a delicious side dish or a savory main course.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
- Cook the bacon until it’s crispy to add a nice crunch to the dish.
- Grate the cheddar cheese yourself for a fresher and more flavorful result.
- Use a large skillet to ensure even cooking of the vegetables.
- Season to taste at the end to avoid over-salting, as the bacon and cheese already provide some saltiness.
- Consider adding a splash of vinegar for a bit of acidity that balances the richness of the dish.
