📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the chopped bacon to a large Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat until it begins to crisp up (but is not yet fully cooked).
2
Add the sliced sausage to the pot with the bacon and its rendered fat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the bacon is crispy.
3
Add the onion and red bell pepper directly to the pot with the bacon and sausage. Sauté until the veggies are softened, which should take about ⏱️ 5-6 minutes.

Stir in the garlic and your choice of Creole seasoning (or Everglades Seasoning), and cook for another ⏱️ 30 seconds.

5
Add the cabbage to the pot in batches, stirring after each addition to help it wilt down. Continue to cook and stir until all the cabbage has been incorporated.
6
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, the chicken broth, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking (replace the lid after stirring). Cook until the cabbage has reached your desired tenderness. If the mixture looks dry at any point, add a bit of broth.
8
Stir in the hearts of palm. Replace the cover and cook for another five minutes to heat them through.
9
Remove the pot from the heat. Taste the dish and add salt only if necessary (it should be a small amount if any, keeping in mind the large amount of salty ingredients such as bacon, sausage, etc.). If desired, add a splash of fresh lemon juice, lime juice, or apple cider vinegar to brighten the flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
