A delightful and easy-to-make skillet cabbage recipe, perfect for a comforting meal.
Prepare the cabbage by removing the outer leaves and chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the cabbage pieces are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
Slice the onion and smoked sausage into thin slices.
Use a sharp knife for clean slices and to avoid crushing the sausage.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Save the bacon grease in the skillet for added flavor.
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt.
Swirl the butter around the skillet to coat it evenly.
Add the cabbage, onion, and sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Season with salt, pepper, and sugar, then cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Adjust the seasoning to taste as the cabbage cooks.
Serve the cabbage mixture over cooked white rice and garnish with the crispy bacon.
For a touch of freshness, add chopped parsley or green onions as garnish.
