Sautéed cabbage and onion tossed with buttered noodles and bacon is one of my favorite meals and it couldn’t be easier to make. Cabbage and Noodles is an inexpensive comfort meal that we always look forward to during the cooler months.
Tis the season for comfort foods, or at least it should be. Our summer got off to a slow start this year and now it is lingering. But the cool weather is bound to get here sooner or later and I’m prepared with a stack of cool weather recipes.
I absolutely love sautéed cabbage. Especially if it is sautéed in bacon fat with onions and tossed with buttery noodles. How can anyone resist that?
Crispy salty bacon is always a good thing.
Sautéed fried cabbage becomes tender and sweet. It cooks down quite a bit and literally blends in with the noodles. I added just a few caraway seeds that I crush with the back of a spoon. Caraway seeds have a strong flavor and a little goes a long way. If you don’t like the taste of them, just leave them out.
And be sure to try Sweet and Sour Cabbage. It’s another one of my favorites.
Make It Spicy
If you want this recipe to be spicy, add a half teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Recipe Tips
- Add some minced garlic for more flavor.
- Sliced smoked sausage can be used instead of bacon.
- Leave the caraway seeds out if you don’t like them.
- Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper. This is a simple dish with only a few ingredients and they add alot of the flavor.
How To Serve
This recipe can be eaten as a main dish or it makes a great side for pork chops. Some Buttermilk Cornbread Muffins are a must!
Storage
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container for 4 days and can be reheated in a microwave.
