Notes

While bacon drippings are yummy, we prefer to have them as a back note in this dish rather than a focal point. Save the remaining drippings for another day.
You can also substitute the bacon for smoked sausage. Delish!

Perfect Pairing

Serve this Fried Cabbage with Pickle Brined Chicken. You'll thank us later.
