Southern Cabbage

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of College Inn®. All opinions are mine.

Southern Cabbage is an easy southern side that goes great with chicken and pork and makes a wonderful addition to a holiday meal. Cabbage is slow cooked until tender in chicken broth flavored with bacon and onion, plus a few red pepper flakes if you want some heat.

Southern Cabbage is one of my very favorite foods ever so I enjoy making it even outside of the holiday season. It is supposed to be a side, but to me it’s a main dish because whenever I make it or see it on a buffet, it’s the only thing I want. I think most cabbage lovers can relate.

Note: The chicken broth, especially once it boils down some and the flavors concentrate, should add plenty of saltiness together with the bacon. But if you need to, salt to taste at the end.

If you try out this recipe, I’d love to see! Be sure to use #CollegeInnBroth in social media.
