How to Make Cabbage And Kielbasa

  1. Cook 1/2 pound bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain.
  2. Crumble bacon once cool and set aside.
  3. Add 1 large onion, chopped, to the bacon drippings in the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 medium head of green cabbage (about 2 pounds), cored and thinly sliced, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional) to the skillet.
  5. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage begins to soften.
  6. Add 1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds, to the skillet. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until sausage is heated through and cabbage is tender.
  7. Transfer the cabbage and kielbasa mixture to a serving dish using a slotted spoon to remove excess grease.
  8. Sprinkle generously with the crumbled bacon.
