When I was trying to get my credit cards paid off to build up my credit rating so I could get a mortgage, I'd have this or a very similar meal about 4-5 times a week, usually with stewed potatoes and turnips on the side. Took me a couple years but I got it done! Thank the good Lord for beans, potatoes and good cheap produce!
My grandmother made fried cabbage that way. I've never made it because I wasn't sure exactly how she made it. I remember her always frying fat back and serving it with the fried cabbage. I'm sure this is how she did it after watching this video. Now I will be making it this way. Thank you for bringing back a great memory of my grandmother's cooking to me. She was a great cook and woman. She contacted polio at the age of 3 and was in a wheelchair the rest of her life. But she didn't let that stop her from doing anything. And her kitchen was the heart of her home. She would cook and feed so many people. Family, friends and church families. Her home was full of love and she was loved by so many.
She sounds amazing 😀 So glad you had her in your life!
I like how Matt often leans towards the non-electric, mechanical way of doing things. When you said he likes this old pressure pot, I just nodded a little bit 😄. Wishing you and your family health & wellness in 2023. Thank you sharing!
😀 Thank you!
I prefer to use my old CI dutch oven for cooking dried beans, but I have heard of using a pressure pot.
@@CelebratingAppalachia When I married I got a pressur pot. My sweet mother in law was scared of it !! She said it might blow up !! She cooked pinto beans every day !! Eight kids ! Then as they married she always had even more at the dinner table !! I miss her sooo much !!
I was raised in the south and this IS a feast! We usually have a few potatoes fried up and ham with ours, as we had a smokehouse. But definitely the pinto beans (every now and then "northern" beans), sliced onions, tomatoes and a big wheel of cornbread to go with the cabbage. Good eating!
Enjoyed this video we had pintos and cornbread tonight we just needed some fried cabbage to go with it oh yeah we had hog jowl! Love and Prayers Always
My daddy is from Sylva, NC. He got me hooked on fried cabbage. Over the years I've put different things in it. I use onion & garlic powder with Tony's Cajun seasoning. It's so good!
This reminds me of my Slovak grandmother making haluski, fried cabbage with bacon and egg noodles, for my sister and I growing up. It's a recipe that was passed down from her mother who was an immigrant from Slovakia at the turn of the 20th century. It's a recipe I still love to this day.
Definitely how I was raised. I cook brown beans with chicken broth, add some ham, and fry cornbread for mostly me and my neighbor lady, Donna . She's 84 and doesn't get out often. A fine meal adding the cabbage but mom usually had fried potatoes and I did the years I raised three children. Just down home good supper there. ❤️
How nice of you to cook for her too 😀
I am from Kentucky but I grew up eating like this I love it thanks for sharing
It’s remarkable how universal fried cabbage is. My very Italian family does virtually the same thing, but starting with pepperoni instead of fatback. We do add onions and garlic, too, and a bit of a herb like thyme.
Cabbage is my favorite veggie and many people look at me like I’m nuts when I say that. Its such an under appreciated vegetable. Even just watching this made me feel all happy and content 😂❤🥬🥬🥬
Cabbage is so versatile! Fried cabbage w/ any kind of pork is delicious!! I just made cabbage soup using ground beef. I'm gonna try a new recipe next week... oven-baked cabbage.
Sounds great!
Fried cabbage is my favorite since I was a kid. I grew up eating it the exact same way. Get a plateful and put pepper sauce on it. And if my Memaw made hot water cornbread…… I could eat it forever. Me and my grandfather would fight over the last of it. Now it’s a favorite of my kids as well. Now I want some……
😀 It is so good
Hot water cornbread! I know I like it and I don't know why I don't make it. I do make cornbread often.
Hi Sheena, what is hot water cornbread.? Thanx for sharing.😃
@@kevinknight470 I'm going to put hot water cornbread, hot water dumplings (slick dumplings), collards with cornmeal dumplings and biscuits in with things that are very simple in every way but, some people make them good and others not so good. A recipe for hot water cornbread is cornbread with hot water to replace the egg and dairy. Mine's never the same twice, sometimes better than others but, never the best I've ever had. I'm pretty sure not as good as Sheena's Memaw made.
It's cold and raining here in Missouri so I fixed a pot of beans and made cornbread. So good. Leftovers tomorrow will be wonderful with fried potatoes and onions. I had cooked cabbage yesterday for dinner!
We ate at a Danish couple's home once, back in the 1970s. The elderly woman made a wonderful creamed cabbage. Wish I'd have watched her make it. 50 years later and I still remember it
My Appalachian papaw would tell Tipper to add a little pineapple to that supper and they could "set around later and make Hi-wah-yun music together". Another tried and true, Tipper. Keep 'em coming sister.
😀 Love that! Thank you 😀
Both of my parents were raised in south Georgia during the Depression, and this is how we ate while I was growing up, and I love it all. I call it "Depression food," when my Yankee friends in NC ask about things like collar greens, fried pork chops, cornbread, etc. Love your videos. Keep it up.
Thank you 😀
Delicious! I love cabbage. A tradition in our family is to fry up left over vegies from the previous day. My favourite is cabbage, potato's, and any other vegie that is left over with some butter or oil in the cast iron frying pan. We call it 'bubble and squeak' (a British term) because it does bubble and squeak as it's frying. I really enjoy watching you share your preparations for meals with us. I get a lot of great idea's from it. Enjoy your evening. Blessings x
Halfway to the British “bubble and squeak” recipe! I think they put it in lard and add some chunks of cooked potatoes. They also let it get crunchy on the bottom and turn it to brown the “other side”. Ooo girl, I’m such a fan of cabbage having been raised in a Scandinavian family. Makes me want some right now! Thank you for sharing this recipe 💙
I always wondered what "bubble and squeak" was. I used to watch "Two Fat Ladies" cook and they spoke of that often.
That sounds so good 😀
I sometimes put potatoes in mine.
@@jimmiemabe6512 I loved that show!
I lived in England and never had it but tried it a few years ago and I failed somehow. Still on my list to try. Maybe a Texas version of Bubble and squeak :)
Thanks Tipper! Grew up on this and still love it! Cornbread, fried cabbage (crunchy) and "pintos". Pot of pintos to be exact, with onions on top. I love the thick pintos though. My hubby will not eat these so I usually eat myself, he grew up in the city and I did not for most of my life. You are right, this meal is great anytime! I love to have cucumbers with it in the summer.
Yum yum looks sooo good! Maw maw always cooked her fried cabbage in bacon grease. Nothing better than fried salt pork. The bean soup and that skillet cornbread just make it a perfect meal.
Tipper You do like spicy stuff, Matt’s adds all the spice you need 😂
😀
One of my favorite cabbage meals is boiled cabbage, boiled eggs, cucumbers, and saltine crackers....I craved this when I was pregnant and my daughter loves it, too 😊💜
I always fried up bacon and chopped it into chunks, and then added the cabbage on to it, stirring it in. So good!
We had the same thing for supper yesterday. We also had a chunk of tenderloin in the crockpot and my husband loves smoked sausage in his fried cabbage. God bless you and your family!
My Mama would cut me out the core of the cabbage. I thought that was so good. Especially if I remembered to ask for it first.☺️
I love the core too 😀
I enjoy eating everything you made. I tried ordering some salt pork last week with my grocery order from Walmart, and they were out of it. I watch several people on Instagram that live in England and Germany. I am always amazed at the food items they can still find in their grocery stores, ingredients found in old 1940s recipes. Even their packaging has an old flavor to it! So many of those things our stores quit carrying long before I was born. And I love their quaint old fashioned small stores over there. They have big supermarkets, too, but I really enjoy shopping in the old mom and pop type grocery stores, even the ones over here in the states. I love the ambiance, and that old smell, of the stores. I always enjoy your cooking videos! Thank you!!
Donna. : )
I lived in Germany for a year and loved shopping the small mom and pop stores there. 😊
Thank you Donna!!
That meal looks just delicious. I do add bacon back in my fried cabbage. Thank you for sharing Tipper.
Thank you Robin 😀
Tipper, Thank you for the trip down Memory lane. My Mom made it just like you! This was always served with pinto beans made just like your husbands. Corn bread as well. " The cornbread was NEVER sweet. Your videos are like I was standing next to my Mom talking and helping. I miss that so much. My Mom and Dad passed away 30 years ago. Your videos mean so much. God Bless you and yours.
Thank you! We are happy to remind you of them 😀
Cabbage, wether chopped, coleslaw, cooked, sauerkraut or mild kimchi is so awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I also like big chunks cooked in homemade vegetable soup...and cabbage rolls
There was a song on the radio when I was a kid called "gimme some side meat and cabbage". Mama made fried cabbage when I was little and she alway shredded it like slaw and put cinnamon in the dish. One of my favorite memories is coming home to a supper of fried side meat and potatoes and gravy. I haven't seen fresh side meat in years at the grocery store. We did have ham and beans, fried potatoes and onions with.a side of cornbread. Life is good. I like the idea of breaking the corn bread and putting the beans over it.
My goodness that looks GOOD!! Fried cabbage was a big part of my childhood dinners. My Mom would slice and fry up a whole can of SPAM and serve each plate one or two slices of the meat with fried cabbage alongside. Usually there was a lettuce and tomato salad as well. I can remember being so small sitting on a chair up to the table that my eyes came to just above the table edge looking at my plate with that lovely supper on it. Have always loved fried cabbage.
We have fried cabbage, soup beans, kraut and weiners, and cornbread at least once a week! Love it! 🥰
In the Ozark Mountains we like to have fried potatoes with our beans and cornbread. And fried cabbage is a family favorite as well ❤️
Great video! I fix fried cabbage with onions and smoked sausage with a stick of margarine! SOMETIMES add a broccoli, cauliflower and carrot combo to it! Cornbread completes the meal!! Like it well done! Thanks for sharing!! Peace and Blessings!!💅❤️🔥💓🙏🙏
I like mine with smoked sausage as well .. I add onions and bell peppers but I’m going to have to try adding the other veggies too 😊
@@leggiemeggie5837 Yes, even thinly sliced potatoes! Potatoes, cabbage, carrots and even a can of sweet peas during the last stages of cooking is just Scrumptious!! You can combine almost any veggies you like and get great results is what I have found!! Happy cooking!! 💅💅😍😍💯💯🤗😋😋
I grew up on this kind of southern food and still cook it to this day. So good! I don’t like hot spicy food either but that fried cabbage and the rest of the food looks so yummy! Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida.
My mom grew up in Wyoming and my dad was from Muskogee Oklahoma. So many of the meals I have watched you prepare are the same as many of the meals we had growing up. I have enjoyed watching you and your family prepare these foods and and being reminded of my connection to my parents.
You guys have a different cooking stove in every video.
So happy we get to celebrate Appalachia and I’ve learn so much from you guys! Thank you
I fry cabbage all the time, but we use beef tallow since we don't eat pork. SO yummy! My daughter and I love just cabbage and onions with tons of garlic cloves, salt smd pepper. We also like our cabbage a little crunchy. 💗
I get a weird craving for fried cabbage at times. As a kid I had soup beans, fried cabbage and corn bread often. A Russian Jewish lady I went out with few years ago did not think Americans ate cabbage for some reason and was amazed at how much I liked it. She would make fried cabbage with a little sauerkraut and bowtie macaroni mixed in.. She would drown it in sour crème and fresh dill. Was amazingly good!
I cook my cabbage cooked a bit soft and then turn it up high and stir fry it until it chars just a bit. It gets kinda sweet tasting. So good. We will do a Korean inspired version with pork or chicken and seasonings. We use hot chili oil for frying
Sounds good 😀
Yep ... a fine feast! They don't know what they're missing in the fancy restaurants. God bless.
Thank you Sam 😀
One of my favorite meals. Can't get no better than this.
Thank you 😀
Love fried cabbage!!! Never tried it with cornbread and soup beans but you've made me hungry for it so I gotta try it now!
My very favorite meal….love soup beans and cornbread…I fry cabbage with onions and shredded carrot, big sliced tomatoes in summer and corn on the cob…yummy
That sounds so good 😀
One of my grannies would fry cabbage with hot peppers and linked sausages. I enjoyed watching you cook this. I hope your week is going well! Connor
That sounds good 😀
Yep, we called it fatback. Fried cabbage is great, and you have to have beans and cornbread too!!!! What a delicious supper!!!!!
My grandmother who would have been 103 this year she grew up in Eastern Kentucky . Her family moved into Kentucky early 1800's and she cooked a lot like this ~ my grandmother cooked her cabbage in butter, Chicken broth, salt, pepper, onion.
That is a fine Southern Meal! That is something my Mama made alot she was from Floyd County Ky. Family was German English Scott And that was a meal 🙂 we would have a lot. God Bless y'all
That's "soul food" in Savannah, GA. Only difference is, you'll have collard greens with them fatbacks.
Thank you for watching!
I’m actually planning on fried cabbage tonight. Thank you Tipper for sharing.❤
Love that 😀
I laughed, Just got done eating crispy pork belly, fried cabbage, left over pinto beans and a salid - Im plumb full but it look delicious
We love fried cabbage! I always slice up a whole onion and throw it in too, and always cook it in bacon grease. Cook the bacon in the skillet first, then throw in the cabbage & onion. We like to put a little vinegar on it when we eat it. :)
We make it cabbage fried in butter with sweet onion. Boil wide noodles. Add together and you get polish haluski.
Sounds great!
I always made cabbage and noodles for my girls when they were growing up. It still remains their favorite food and is requested when they come home to visit! Such an easy meal.
Matt likes his pepper, reminds me of my mom. She sprinkled it on everything. This meal looks delicious, thanks!
My mom, born & raised till age 10 in Clay County, Manchester, Ky, would fry white cabbage. She heated bacon grease, then put cabbage in skillet & poured the hot bacon grease over it & cooked it a bit. When I saw your kilt lettuce, I remembered mom making something like like it but I thought she used cabbage. This video shows what I really remembered! She’d add bit of salt & pepper. I just remember how good it was!!! Thanks for all the trips down memory lane! We lost mom in 2010. I have her recipes! I’ve been making soup beans & cornbread! Also been making her biscuit recipe in her handwriting! Good ole days for sure!!!
I absolutely love watching your videos with my family! Your videos help me explain how I grew up. Using the same phrases I use “pat of butter”😂
😀 So glad you enjoy them
You make simple but delicious food on your videos. Wish I could sit down at the table and enjoy it.
In Belgium, we like our white cabbage in a white sauce (Bechamel sauce) with a pork sausage and boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. With the drippings of the meat we add some water and nutmeg, pepper, salt to tast and bind it with a corn starch slurry. Serve with a dash of mustard.
Don’t get no better. I was raised on soup beans, cornbread and fried potatoes. Of course we loved our cabbage,green beans and mommas canned corn. Sixty years later I still love all of this for supper. And, I can afford to eat about anything I want within reason.
Tipper,it all looks heavenly and I love pickled beets and fried cabbage...I believe tomorrow I'll be havin' what's on your menu good Lord' will. And I look forward to much more of your channel. Tomorrow it's bean soup & fried cabbage with the fixin's ☺️ keep up your awesomeness and originality!
Thank you so much 😀
The video made me smile, Im sure this was recorded earlier, We had crispy pork belly, fried cabbage, some left over pinto beans and a salid to night. I always fry some onion till its almost brown, and use soy sauce instead of salt in the cabbage, seems to bring out a little sweatness. Thanks for the great content as always.
Its been a while since I seen anyone serve sliced sweat onion with dinner.
Thank you Tom 😀
Your definitely sent from heaven above!! Everytime I turned around my Grama would be feeding my oldest son cornbread mushed up with pot liquor ! He is now 35 and 6'4" .
This exactly how I cook my cabbage except I add just a pinch of sugar along with salt and pepper. I’m with you Tipper! It’s one of my favorite things and it’s just as good the next day
That's one great meal. For the ones who have never tried this, is missing out. My mother had the same pressure cooker that y'all have that Matt cooked the beans in. For my cabbage all I do is melt bacon grease in the skillet and add mr cabbage. No salt no pepper. It comes out so sweet. Good eating !!!!!
The biggest message I took from this video, aside from teachin' me how to fry cabbage, which is why I'm here to start with, is that you have children that understand that if they don't like what Mamma's cookin', then they are free to cook for themselves. My Granny stood by that in her kitchen and I learned to cook at an early age as a result. Many parents today would bend over backwards to cook exactly the way, and the foods, that their teenage kids demand, even at the expense of letting their own meal get cold or over cooked. How does one learn/grow from that? Love your channel and your videos and.....Matt's plate has me starvin' right now! LOL
That looks so good! Cabbage is one of my favorite things! When I was young I would have my mom cut out the heart of the cabbage when she would make coleslaw, and I would chew on that. I haven't had fried cabbage but I love to have baked cabbage. I just mix in saltine crackers, and evaporated milk to chopped cabbage, put a few dabs in butter on top the salt and pepper and bake it till it's done. It's just one of those recipes that relies on just how long you like it baked.
I love to fry cabbage with kielbasa sausage and onions. It makes a one pan meal. 2 pans if I make cornbread to go with it. GOOD STUFF!
I love watching your show. I am from Hamilton, AL, in the country,, and we do fix some of the same recipes that yall fix! I think it's bc alot of our ancestors settled down here that were from Appalachia and they brought down their recipes not to mention the 14:02 language that alot of us still use! You have a lovely family and my prayers are with you all and Miss Cindy at this time. Today is June 20,2023, but I've been watching yall for a good while now! I find your show to be very comforting. This is the first time I've commented. I hope you will continue to put up your videos of yourself and your family. God bless you.

Regarding side dishes, do you ever have ; purple hull peas, crowder peas, or lady peas ? These side dishes go very well with fat back and hog jowls.
Love crowder peas! And we grew Mississippi Pink Eyes last year and love them too 😀
Oh my goodness! That is a meal fit for a royal family! I love to crumble my cornbread like that and put my beans over it. yummy! And fried salt pork makes for some good eatin’! I usually boil my cabbage but I am going to try frying it like this! Looks delicious!
That looks delicious, as always, Tipper. Cabbage is a staple in our house, and we prepare it many ways. It grows well here, but keeping the darn worms out of it is a chore neither of us enjoy. So despite eating a lot of it, we don't grow nearly as much as we need. We noticed you covered your cabbage the last two years but that only seemed to work well when the weed seed bank is fully depleted. We may give it another try this year, but wait to cover it until the cabbage plants are large enough to out-compete the weeds, but before the tiny white moths find 'em.
Thank you Roland! The covering worked so good for us the first year-but it was in a different part of the garden. We hope to put it back there this year 😀
If you have eelderberry bushes around when they bloom out white and cut off and place face down over the cabbage.
I get so hungry watching you two cook and eat. Reminds me so much of my upbringing. Appalachia Forever!
I like my pinto beans with chopped raw onions and corn bread broke up in the bowl. Man, off to the store tomorrow to get cabbage, pinto beans and corn bread mix. Thank you, I don't have to think up a dinner for tomorrow. I also love a big bowl of cold slaw and crumbled crackers in it.
Thank you Sherry 😀
Thank you , mrs tipper
Im making fried cabbage like my grandma and daddy did on his farm in McCalla,Alabama.
Where I grew up .

God bless you
Mrs josette
Montgomery County, Texas 🙏
Love those memories! Thank you
Loved this video. Takes me way back. Thanks.
Love fried cabbage with apples. My Mother always made it that way. It is a German thing. 👍
Thank you for taking time to show the dinner being served. It gave me time to think about each dishs flavor and how it would compliment the one before.
Cabbage is a underrated veggie that so many folks don't cook, but is so delicious and good for you!
Everything looks delicious 😋
This really looks good. Thank you and bless you all
I'm from SW Florida and this is how we ate growing up, my family on both sides have been in Florida since early 1800,s but came from the Carolina North and south Carolina so we did lose our way of eating thank the Lord cause it's some good eatens.
I always get so excited when I see you have a new Video.
Thank you 😀
This meal was a staple growing up! Love it to this day. Yes what a feast!!
Your food on that plate looks delicious!! Another great video!!
Being from Minnesota and Dutch/German/Scandinavian hereitage on the farm we have cabbage so many ways and almost with every meal. You can fry it like this and add egg noodles and butter to make Haluski, a Polish dish from my wifes grandmother. Oh my god I was almost drooling at Matt's plate fried cabbage and beet pickles, my mouth is still watering. YUM!!!!
I love my fried cabbage. A bowl of fried cabbage and cornbread is all I need. No meat necessary. Thank you for sharing!
Every time I watch one of your wonderful shows, I can taste the memories...thank you
My oh my that meal takes me back to my childhood with very good memories. Thanks for sharing.
Well as always everything looks wonderful, yum. Thanks for inviting us into you kitchen and home.
You had my Subscription with this meal!
Love your posts!
Thank you!
Another stellar meal at the Pressley's!
Now I have to head to the kitchen!!! Oh, this looked so good. I love your gently style of relating with everyone. Very enjoyable video. Thank you
So sweet! And Matt is a Peaceful soul
Every time I watch Matt make his plate I think, where the heck is he going to put all that?! But a hard worker needs a big meal. This looks so delicious, thank you and sending love from Ohio!
It must be their way down there but how much is on his plate seems reasonable for a man, it's not even piled up. What amazes me is the little amount of meat they eat with many of these meals they make!
whenever i eat soup beans i think of my grandmother because she always made them for me when i went to visit her 😋
Good memories 😀
Yum Tipper! This looks delicious 😋 Thank you!
Thank you for watching 😀
I LOVE fried cabbage. Next level is making colcannon with it (or fried kale). It's an Irish dish consisting of mashed potatoes with plenty of butter, bacon, cooked greens, and some alliums. So, garlic with onions, shallots, or leeks. Whatever is in fridge. It's awesome the next morning as a cold breakfast.
Sounds so good 😀
It's in my top ten favorite foods!
My mom made fried cabbage. Was one of my favorite dishes and still is to this day !!!
Looks so delicious. Thanks for showing how easy it is fry cabbage
