Crockpot Cabbage and Bacon
When you're looking for crockpot cabbage recipes, be sure to give this easy slow cooker cabbage recipe a try! Make it as a savory side dish or make it main dish by adding protein like ham or kielbasa and potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 cabbage about 2 lbs, cut into small wedges
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 5 slices of bacon cooked and diced
- 2 tablespoon bacon grease
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a skillet, remove from the pan and drain the grease other than 2 tablespoon for cooking the onions. If you already have bacon on hand or are using pre-cooked bacon in a bag from the store, skip this step.
- Saute the chopped onions over medium heat in a large skillet in 2 tablespoon of bacon grease until they're soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. If you don't have bacon grease, use olive oil or canola oil.
- Add the sliced cabbage wedges, onion, bacon, salt, pepper, butter and chicken broth to the crockpot.
- Cook the crock-pot cabbage on high for 2-3 hours or low for 5-6+ hours.
Notes
- We recommend cooking extra bacon to use as a garnish on the finished dish. Adding a fresh green herb like parsley or dill adds a nice touch.
- To make the cabbage dish without bacon, simply leave it out and increase the seasoning to taste. Adding a smoked salt would be a great substitution to add a touch of that smokey flavor to the recipe.
- To make the cabbage as a main dish, you can add in diced ham or sauteed kielbasa slices.
- Vegetables such as small cut potatoes and carrots can also be added, it could add time to the slow cooker since those take longer to cook than cabbage.
