Oh yum! This Skillet Fried Cabbage is the same way my Grandfather taught me how to make it! Some members of our family thought it was a bad healthy way to cook in bacon fat, but the taste is to die for.. Anything cooked in bacon is good, right? I alway skip the onions and added onion powder to the dish after it was cooked. Some folks have a hard time digesting onions, so we leave it out. Thank you for sharing another great recipe!

My little Cajun mother-in-law taught me to cook cabbage this way when I married my husband in '68. We cabbage often with pork chops corn bread. Nothing like cooking Southern!
