How to Make Spicy Cajun Bacon Cabbage Slaw Skillet

  1. Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Thinly slice 1 medium head of green cabbage.
  3. Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp-tender.
  4. Stir in 1 (10 ounce) can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (undrained), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
  5. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded.
  6. Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it into the cabbage mixture.
  7. Serve warm as a delicious side dish with your favorite protein!
