Description
A hearty and flavorful one-pan bake featuring crispy bacon, tender mushrooms, and caramelized cabbage, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small head green cabbage, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan.
- Add olive oil, then sauté the sliced onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking for another 3–4 minutes until mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.
- Add the chopped cabbage, chicken broth, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Stir well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage begins to wilt.
- Return the cooked bacon to the pan and stir. If using cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until cabbage is tender and the top is golden.
- Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese. You can also add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end for brightness.
