Oh what memories this Southern Fried Cabbage dish brings back! Visits to my grandmothers was always a pleasure just for the food. This was a favorite!
I was raised in the south and Grandma always had good southern food!
I didn’t realize it until I was an adult that she was also a very economical cook. This fried cabbage dish was always a part of the same meal.
I knew if I smelled cabbage cooking that we would also have navy beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread.
Except for the bacon in the navy beans, no meat. Inexpensive food but delicious and filling.
