Bacon Cabbage Steaks
Bacon Cabbage Steaks feature thick rounds of cabbage roasted until tender with crisped bacon on top and a kiss of brown sugar that caramelizes at the edges. The balance of smoky, salty bacon and lightly sweet, garlicky cabbage makes this a satisfying side for weeknight dinners or a standout addition to a casual weekend spread.
