Why You'll Love This Recipe

The process begins with onion and green bell pepper, followed by chopped cabbage and seasonings. Everything stays in the cooker as the cabbage cooks, with stirring every few minutes during the 15 to 20 minute cooking time.

The finished dish includes cooked bacon crumbles added just before serving, plus parsley to make it fancy. Since the instructions call for tasting and adjusting the seasonings, the final salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning can be set after the cabbage has cooked.

Ingredients You'll Need

Use one medium head of chopped green cabbage with one large sliced green bell pepper and one sliced medium white onion. Bacon grease goes into the cooker first, and the recipe allows for more than 2 tablespoons to taste.

Two Gringos Italian Seasoning, salt, and black pepper season the cabbage as it cooks. A few crumbles of cooked bacon and parsley are added at the end.

How To Make It

Turn your Beautiful by Drew Electric Cooker to the sauté setting (or medium heat). Add the bacon grease and let it melt.

Toss in the sliced white onion and green bell pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the chopped cabbage and stir everything together.

Sprinkle in the Two Gringos Italian Seasoning, along with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your favorite tenderness.

Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add a few crumbles of cooked bacon back in before serving.

Add parsley and make it fancy. Serving & Variations

Serve the cabbage after the cooked bacon crumbles and parsley have been added. The recipe directs you to adjust the seasonings after tasting, so that final step remains part of the serving process.
