Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Noodles
So this dish is made in my house probably wayyy too much for a recipe with a pound of bacon in it, but it has cabbage in it so that makes it healthy ya know lol! This is a very simple dish that is huge on flavor, we usually have aside some garlic roasted chicken or just some sliced up kielbasa but it is hearty enough to be a meal on it’s own.
Bacon is diced and fried up, onions and cabbage caramelized till tender and the whole shebang is tossed with egg noodles and a sprinkle of black pepper and it is to die for!!
Some nights when I make this I will take a shortcut and use a bagged coleslaw mix instead of chopping a whole head of cabbage, however, a head of cabbage is so ridiculously cheap so it’s a price vs convenience thing on whether you use the coleslaw mix or a head of cabbage. If you do go the packaged coleslaw route you do get some carrots in the mix usually and that just adds a little something extra to the dish.
Four ingredients make a super simple noodle dish that even my kids love and ask for. Even if you don’t think you like cabbage you definitely have to give this recipe a try!!! (I mean really has bacon ever steered you wrong?)

Ohh this looks good! As soon as I saw the picture it reminded me of my grandma because she used to make a noodles and cabbage dish, but I don’t think there was bacon in it! That sounds delicious!

This looks fabulous. I love bacon and cabbage and factor in the carby goodness of egg noodles and it’s pretty much guaranteed to be awesome.
Oh yea, I wish I had a big ole bowl of it right now:@)
Love your recipe. You know, if you swap the noodles for potatoes, you have bubble and squeak.
My Danish father-in-law could have made this. He loved it and I loved it when he made it – my husband will be very happy at this inspiration!

holy moses, that sounds amazing! 1 lb of bacon is a good thing :-) I’m thinking this is going on our fall rotation menu and would probably be awesome with some artichokes, too.
So glad you linked this up!
Wholly Moley that looks good!

We love fried cabbage with bacon in our house but I’ve always made it as a side. I can’t wait to try it with noodles as a main dish!!
Cabbage and bacon, 2 unique extreme flavour coming together with noodle, makes me salivate now hehehe~
I love the addition of bacon, gotta add some nice smoky flavor! Thanks for linking up with me darlin’! Krista @ A Handful of Everything
my mom , aunt and I make this and if you add some Garlic Pepper it really makes the dish :)
When i make this i add sour cream. Others i know add cottage cheese. Regular or low fat is up to you. This is a comfort food. My family grew up eating it. It’s a Polish thing. Lol
I make a version of this where I add 1/4 Cup (good splash) of cider vinegar when cooking the cabbage. It gives it good flavor and makes the bacon snap! Thanks for posting!
I love fried cabbage and bacon! I plan on making this very soon. My grown kids will love it too!
This dish is so delicious and very easy to make. Thank you! One recipe feeds my husband and I for two supper meals and him a lunch meal. He asks me to make it once a week since I found your recipe a month ago.
I am so glad you guys like it!! We love it leftover too!
Tried it and it was delicious thought it was going to have to make pork chops with it but it was a meal in itself
