Haluski is an easy and quick delectable polish dish combining cabbage, onions, noodles, and bacon. It will quickly become one of your family’s favorite sides.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 ounces uncooked egg noodles (Amish egg noodles are perfect for this)
- 6 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 6 slices bacon uncooked coarsely chopped
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 –2 pounds green cabbage cut in bite sized pices
- salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Boil the egg noodles in a large pot of salted water according to package directions and drain well.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion to the skillet until the onions are soft and the bacon is almost completely browned.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds while stirring continuously. Add the cabbage and continue cooking and stirring until the cabbage is tender.
- Add the cooked egg noodles to the cabbage mixture and toss to coat.
- Season with kosher salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
NOTES
- Don’t overcook the noodles because you don’t want them to break apart. Cook them slightly al dente.
- Get your bacon crispy, as crispy bacon tastes better and holds up better in this dish.
- Chop your cabbage into bite-size pieces.
- This dish is best as soon as it is cooked. I have had it sit for a bit, and it still tastes good. But right out of the pan upon completion is phenomenal.
- If you are looking for a heartier meal, then add thinly sliced pieces of kielbasa, chicken, or beef sausage at the same time that you add the onions.
- Use sweet cream butter.
- Season with salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
