I love Haluski. I mean, really, who doesn’t? This noodles and cabbage dish is commonly referred to as Haluski. Haluski is a Noodles and Cabbage dish of Polish and Slovakian origin, although there is some disagreement from the Ukrainians and Hungarians. No matter where it originated from, it is delicious comfort food. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Now I don’t think that the original version had bacon in it, but you know me well. Savory gives the dish that much more delicious flavor.
First, boil the egg noodles in a large pot of water according to the 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. Then 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.
