Beer, Butter, Bacon Wrapped Cabbage (BBB Cabbage)

Hey y’all! 🥬🍺🥓
So there’s this Facebook page I follow — “Cookin’ Cuttin’ Up & Ceepin’ It Real” — and they posted this recipe that I just had to try.

It’s called Beer, Butter, Bacon Wrapped Cabbage (aka BBB Cabbage).
And let me tell you — it was AMAZEBALLS y’all!! 🤯

Even people who don’t like cabbage… liked this cabbage.
I mean seriously, how could you not when there’s beer, butter, and bacon all having a party together?!

You do need to plan ahead — this baby cooks low & slow — but it’s worth every second.
Make it once, and you’ll be a rock star. 🌟

Bonus tip: The next day, I fried up the leftovers with a few fresh shrimp — because, well… I’m fancy like that. 😎🍤

Make it. Bite it. Love it.

Ingredients 🥓

The “stuff”… (per cabbage head)

• 1 large head of cabbage (or 2 small), scored into checkerboard cuts (not cut all the way through)
• ¼ cup butter, sliced into patties (freeze first for easy cutting)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 sliced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
• ½ can of beer (whatever you’re drinking works fine!)
• 6 slices bacon

Instructions 👩‍🍳

What to do with “the stuff”…

1. Line a roasting pan with heavy-duty foil — one long piece lengthwise, another crosswise.
2. Wash the cabbage, then cut it into checkerboard slices (about 6 cuts). Don’t cut all the way through.
3. Push butter slices down into all the cuts.
4. Scatter sliced onions and garlic over the top.
5. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
6. Crisscross the bacon strips right over the top — give it that fancy bacon weave look.
7. Pour beer over the cabbage head.
8. Pull all the foil up around the cabbage, sealing it tightly so the beer stays in.
9. Roast in a 325°F oven for 2½–3 hours.
10. Open the foil, remove the cabbage stem, and run a fork through to distribute all that buttery, bacony goodness.

Notes 📝

• Serve hot, with a crusty roll or alongside roast chicken or pork.
• Leftovers? Slice it up and fry it with shrimp or sausage — unreal!
• If you’re cooking multiple cabbages, just multiply the “stuff” per head.
