Southern Fried Bacon, Sausage and Cabbage

Good morning,

Seen this on YouTube and it looked pretty easy to make.  Looks like it should taste pretty good too.

Ingredients

1/2 Head of Cabbage, cut up

1 pack of thick cut Bacon, crumbled

1 lb. Smoked Sausage or Kielbasa, cut into chunks

1 large Bell Pepper, roughly chopped

1 large Onion, roughly chopped 

1 Tbsp ground Pepper

1 Salt to taste

2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning

3 cloves of Garlic, minced

Stuff you will need

Cutting board

Sharp knife

Mixing bowls

Paper towel

Large skillet with lid

Directions

Prep your veggies ahead of time.  Keep the cabbage apart from the other veggies.

Fry up your bacon and soak up the grease on a lined plate with paper towel.  Either cut up the bacon into chunks or crumble.  Add this to the bowl with the cabbage in it.

Fry up the sausage and transfer that to a plate lined with paper towel.  Eventually transfer the fried sausage to the cabbage bowl.

Retain some of the bacon grease and fry up the onions, and peppers.  Wait till the onions and peppers have been fried up for about 5 to 6 minutes before adding the garlic.  Continue to fry for another 3 to 4 minutes.  Add the spices.  Continue to fry for another minute or so, until the spices have been combined with the veggies.

Add the cabbage, bacon and sausage.

Mix everything together and continue to fry.

Lower the heat and cover.  Don't remove the lid for about 10 minutes.  This will allow the cabbage to steam.

Note1: I julienned some carrots, as I would have saved the other 1/2 of the cabbage to make cole slaw.  The sweetness from the carrots combines well with this dish.
