Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Cabbage with Bacon and Barbecue Sauce.
Step 1
Start by preparing your cabbage: carefully remove the core from the bottom by cutting around it and discarding the knot.
Step 2
Next, grab a skillet and melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Toss in the chopped onion and sauté it until it becomes soft and fragrant, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 4
While that’s happening, take another large skillet and cook the bacon over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Turn the bacon occasionally until it’s beautifully browned, which will take around 10 minutes.
Step 6
Once it’s done, drain the bacon on paper towels to absorb the excess grease, but don’t forget to save those delicious drippings! Chop the crispy bacon into small pieces and set it aside.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, chopped bacon, and your favorite barbecue sauce, stirring until everything is well coated.
Step 8
Now it’s time to fill the cabbage! Spoon the savory onion-bacon mixture into the cavity of the cabbage, packing it in nicely.
Step 9
To add a little extra flavor, place small pats of butter into the core until it’s filled to the brim.
Step 10
For a finishing touch, drape two strips of bacon over the top of the filling and secure them with toothpicks to keep everything in place.
Step 11
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Step 12
Create a ring with aluminum foil and place it on the grill to hold the cabbage.
Step 13
Carefully position the stuffed cabbage on the foil ring and let it grill, basting occasionally with the reserved bacon drippings.
Step 14
Keep an eye on it as it cooks, and in about 15 to 30 minutes, you’ll know it’s ready when a fork can easily pierce through the tender cabbage.
Step 15
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of a delicious meal as you wait for this unique dish to come together!.
