❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

This Cabbage, Bacon and Potato Skillet is a quick and easy comfort food dish.  We love cabbage and adding bacon and potatoes just makes this vegetable even better.  You can’t beat this with a big old hunk of cornbread on a cold night. Plus this dish could be a main dish or a side dish. It would be a great side to pork chops!

SWAPS

We use tumeric and cumin in this recipe, but you can always switch out the spices. That is what makes this dish versatile; you could add minced garlic, paprika, etc. Just add the spices you are a fan of, but we love it this way. If you are a not a fan of onions, leave them out! We use any potatoes in this dish.

⭐TIP

You can use ham in the place of the bacon. If you read the comments you will see a few people have done that and loved it. This is a versatile recipe, make it your own and enjoy it!
