# Steps:
01 -
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove using a slotted spoon and reserve 4 Tbsp of the drippings in the pan.

Add olive oil and sliced smoked sausages to the reserved pan drippings. Cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until the sausage slices begin to brown.

Add green onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, and fennel seed. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
04 -
Layer potatoes and cabbage on top of the sausage mixture. Pour chicken stock and cider vinegar over the cabbage. Season with black pepper to taste.
05 -
Cover and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender and cabbage is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
06 -
Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 10 minutes until pan juices have evaporated and cabbage begins to brown.
07 -
Stir thoroughly, taste and adjust salt and black pepper as needed.

Garnish with fresh parsley and the crumbled bacon before serving.
