This southern 3-ingredient fried cabbage is the kind of simple, cozy side dish that shows up at every family gathering in my world. It starts with bacon sizzling in a cast iron skillet, then in goes a big pile of cabbage that softens and soaks up all that savory flavor. There’s no need for a long ingredient list—just cabbage, bacon, and a little salt. This is the kind of recipe a grandma makes by feel, turning a humble head of cabbage into something everyone goes back for seconds on.
Serve this fried cabbage right out of the cast iron skillet alongside meatloaf, roast chicken, baked pork chops, or a simple pan-fried sausage. It’s especially good with cornbread or warm dinner rolls to mop up the bacon-y juices. For a fuller plate, add mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles and a simple green salad. It also works beautifully as a cozy brunch side next to scrambled eggs and toast.
