BACON CABBAGE SKILLET
This bacon cabbage skillet will quickly become a family favorite.
Bacon Cabbage Skillet Meal is an easy dish to prepare on top of the stove and goes with just about anything. This is a great side dish recipe to most any meat or I can make a meal of this and cornbread alone. The onions and cream cheese give the cabbage a great flavor and the bacon just tops it off.
Bacon Cabbage Skillet
3 to 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons bacon drippings or oil (I use the drippings from the bacon in this)
1 small head cabbage, chopped (about 6 cups of chopped cabbage)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 (4 ounce) jar pimentos, drained
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
few drops hot sauce or pinch or cayenne (Optional)
Cook bacon, drain, crumble and set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet, add bacon drippings or oil along with your chopped cabbage and onion. Sprinkle on black pepper, salt, minced garlic and ground mustard. Cook cabbage until tender and add pimentos, cream cheese and hot sauce. Cook until cream cheese is melted and stir in crumbled bacon. Makes six to eight servings.
Note: You could use green pepper in place of the pimentos in this dish.

Add some cut up boiled red potatoes and some Kluski noodles and have a Hungarian dish my mom made for dinner. Love it
Had this for Sunday supper this week. All we added was fried cornbread and we were set. Very good!
I made exactly like the recipe and we loved it!! The second time, my friend had given me 2 medium sized zucchini squash. I wash it, didn’t peel, sliced into round slices and sauteed it in bacon grease and added to the dish and it was excellent too. Great recipe thanks!!
Made this last week and the hub is asking for it again this week. It is delicious. I made it exactly as the recipe reads. I love and use so many of your recipes and each brings such good memories from childhood.
Thank you Cathy! We’re so glad this was a hit for your family.
