Fried Cabbage with Bacon (keto + low carb). Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.
Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.
The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.
Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

Ingredients
- 4 slice thick cut baconchopped
- 4 cup cabbagechopped
- ½ count small onionchopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
Before you start
- Lidded skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Instant-read thermometer
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Bacon
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium until crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-lined plate. Keep the source-specified first portion of rendered fat in the pan and reserve the rest.
- Onion
Sauté onion in retained fat over medium for 7–10 minutes until caramelized.
- Cabbage
Add a second equal portion of the reserved bacon fat, then cabbage, salt, pepper and paprika. Cook 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened to taste.
- Finish
Stir the cooked bacon back in and serve immediately.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: 171 kcal; protein: 4.8 g; total carbs: 6.3 g; fiber: 2.4 g; net carbs: 3.9 g
Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.
Listed allergens: None in the specified ingredients. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- Source method retains 1 tbsp bacon fat for onions and adds another 1 tbsp for cabbage. For changed servings those rendered-fat portions should scale, while no separate purchased fat is added.
- Source 15 min cook excludes bacon crisping, 7–10 min onion and 10–15 min cabbage.
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Annie. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- The publisher’s headline time does not cover every step in the method; no complete elapsed-time estimate is reported.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
