Can I print bacon fried cabbage recipe but need the one page only--don't need the whole brochure?.
-
What happens with the "wilted" onion? May I suppose it goes back in with the bacon at the end?

I have made this recipe several times and love it every time I make it. It is even better the second day. With that said, seriously people leave the lady alone. She shared her recipe. It's not rocket science and nobody really cares about your credentials. If you have any kind of cooking skills you can look at the recipe and figure out there's too much salt. Get over yourselves. -
Salt in breakfast meats is all over the board. I recognize this recipe from Grandmother to my Mom and now to me. Our way is taste as you go, which is the principle to seasoning foods, I think. Old ladies with cast iron fry pans should not be fussed with. They Know Things. ~thank you, for reminding of a memory I can cook~

I make this often, this is not a new recipe for me. I visited this page as I mistakenly thought I had forgotten to add one ingredient (it was onion, FYI). I do however have one very good tip for you readers: to remove the repulsive cabbage odors from the kitchen, add celery while it cooks. Celery leaves, chopped celery, or dried celery leaf. When I buy celery at the grocery store I always end up with more than I can use in a few days. I chop up leaves and ribs and freeze it in plastic freezer bags. I don't pre-cook it either, just rinse, dry, chop and freeze. -
this is a wonderful recipe!! I'm making it again tonight!! Thank you for the recipe!!

This is SO good if you like cabbage. Like other reviewers, I realized the salt level must be a typo and did a little less than a tsp. and also used low sodium bacon but we try to keep our salt lower anyway. Served with pierogies and cold applesauce.

Added extra bacon

I added cooking chorizo, the flavour was amazing. I left out the sugar and the salt as I use smoked bacon and that was salty enough for me.

I'm on Keto so I left the sugar out and just put a couple of grinds of salt and pepper in.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
