PEGGI'S SOUTHERN FRIED CABBAGE
Now I'm from the south. My hubby is a transplant from the north. When we met in Arkansas some 27 years ago, I was boilin' cabbage with bacon in it. This northern guy had to tell me how to fix it. Seems some other southerner had told him. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in 10 3/4" cast iron skillet in the order given. Do not mix up at this time.
- Start out on high heat for a minute or two, until cabbage starts to "give it up",then reduce heat to low & cover skillet.
- Give it about 5 minutes before you start to stir it in skillet. Then, for the next 10 min, about, stir occasionally so it won't burn. Leave lid on to cook. Don't over stir it or it will just mush & not brown.
- Cook until it is starting to get translucent & tender-crisp & brown somewhat, as in picture above.
- Serve with anything. We had it with hamburger steaks & sauted onions today.
SOUTHERN FRIED SMOTHERED CABBAGE
I created this recipe because raising a family isn't cheap and cabbage is. To make this a one-dish meal, substitute the bacon with a pound of coined Polish sausage or kielbasa.

Steps:
- Heat a large, lidded cast iron pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Quickly add cabbage pieces and water, in that order. Cover the pot with the lid and allow cabbage to steam, about 1 minute. Season with cayenne pepper and salt and boil for 15 minutes.
- Remove lid and reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook until all liquid has evaporated and cabbage is browning in the bottom of the pot and wilted but not soggy, about 10 minutes more. Scrape the bottom of the pot regularly and turn cabbage to prevent sticking.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Look for a firm head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that have brown spots or wilted leaves.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give the cabbage plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Add plenty of butter or oil: This will help the cabbage brown and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Season the cabbage well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
- Cook the cabbage over medium heat: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Stir the cabbage occasionally: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the cabbage until it is tender: This should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the cabbage immediately: Southern fried cabbage is best served hot and fresh.
