The Best Southern Fried Cabbage

This recipe isn't called The Best Southern Fried Cabbage for nothing. You won't be able to get enough of this dish flavored with bacon, aromatics, and seasonings.

Southern-fried cabbage is another one of those traditional Sunday recipes. And if you're eating cabbage, it's a must that you have cornbread. That's non-negotiable. What I love so much about cabbage is that it can be whipped up in less than thirty minutes. That's from start to finish.

So you all have all heard the saying, no two cooks cook alike right? Well, that's so true. My mother and my grandmother make their cabbage with salt pork. Salt pork, like bacon, adds flavor to the cabbage. I love my mother's and my grandmother's cabbage, but I prefer to use bacon.
