• 1 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2-1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the bacon until crisp over medium-high heat. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon. Reserve 4 Tbsp drippings in pan.
2. 2Add oil and sliced smoked sausages to the pan drippings. Cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until the sausage slices are beginning to brown.
3. 3Add chopped green onions, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt and fennel seed. Cook for around 1-2 minutes just until fragrant.
4. 4Top the sausage mixture with potatoes and cabbage. Pour chicken stock and cider vinegar over cabbage. Season with black pepper to your taste.
5. 5Cover and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and the cabbage is cooked through, stir occasionally.
6. 6Uncover, and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook uncovered until the pan juices have evaporated and the cabbage is beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
7. 7Stir well, taste and adjust salt and black pepper to your taste.
8. 8Serve with a sprinkle of parsley or cilantro and top with crumbled bacon.
