Southern Fried Cabbage is a classic Southern side dish that is often enjoyed alongside savory meat dishes, such as pork chops or fried chicken. This recipe puts a twist on the classic dish by adding bacon, mushrooms, and onions, which add depth and complexity to the already flavorful cabbage. This dish is a great way to add some vegetables to your meal, while also enjoying smoky savory flavors.

Instructions

1.	In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
2.	In the same skillet, sauté onion and mushrooms until they are soft and caramelized. Add cabbage and cook until wilted, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
3.	Crumble the cooked bacon into the skillet and stir to combine.
4.	Season with salt and pepper to taste.

PROS

CONS

This dish contains a significant amount of bacon, which can be high in saturated fat.
