Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside to drain. Add the Italian sausage to the skillet with the rendered fat and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden brown and darkened throughout, about 6 minutes. Transfer the ground meat to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. Add the potatoes, garlic, and onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, 6-8 minutes. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken broth, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 12-15 minutes.

  3. Add the cabbage, heavy cream, bacon, and sausage and cook over medium heat until the cabbage is tender, another 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar just before serving.
