Thanks JoAnn for submitting this recipe. We liked it a lot. I followed your recipe, except I took out some of the bacon drippings and added a little white wine. It didnt take very long to make this wonderful dish, and I will make it again. Like the other reviewer, I added the bacon after I removed it from the pan, because I like crunchy bacon. It was awfully good!

I love cabbage. I did remove more than half of the bacon grease. I added the cabbage into the same pan and stirred to coat it, then added about a half a can of beer for the cooking/braising liquid and added the chopped bacon at the end of the cooking time and my motto is the hotter the better so I aded more pepper flakes. Topped it off with an alka seltzer...I can`t believe I ate the whole thing!!

Wow, what a quick a delicious side dish. I did drain off the bacon fat and left just a little and added olive oil (just a little healthier)I also added about two cloves of garlic. Thanks for the great recipe.

Great cabbage recipe although, as usual, I did improvise a bit. I used turkey bacon and half tsp caraway seeds, which I added in with the onions, since I was out of red pepper flakes. ( I cut down the amount of bacon to only a few slices and it still tasted great.) The water that clung to the cabbage was enough to cook it, but since the bacon I was using was not a fatty bacon, I did add canola oil to the cabbage. To me the important aspects of cooking this are to chop the cabbage uniformly with special attention to the stems of the cabbage, add cabbage in batches and initially cook on a med high flame, stirring constantly and then lower to a simmer, stir occasionally and continue to cook til the cabbage is cooked through. I ate this with Uncle Ben's brown rice and my own hamburger steaks with onion gravy. Finally, since I have had positive experiences in the past with freezing cooked cabbage and I I froze half this recipe right away.

JoAnn, that is a great recipe! I'm always looking for different ways to prepare veggies. I followed the recipe exactly the first time- which led to the second time and more! The only thing I did to change it was to add a little more pepper flakes. Thanks and hope to find more recipes like this! Cheryl

I tried several new recipes this weekend and although I liked them all, this was my favorite. I only used 6 slices of bacon as that was all I had but the red pepper flakes make this recipe a winner.We will be having this again.

This cabbage recipe is wonderful. The only thing I did differently was that I only used 6 slices of bacon and maybe only 2-3 tablespoons of the drippings. The cabbage takes on a lovely sweet flavor. We enjoyed this recipe so much, I know I'll be using it very often.

This is a good recipe for fried cabbage. The only thing I did differently was I left out the red pepper flakes (I personally don't care for them). I will definately be making this again in the future.

I love Cabbage! I love Bacon! This dish is wonderful. I was looking for a side dish that I could serve with steak tips . I used both red and green cabbage. I added a bit of chicken broth to the pan as I thought it needed more moisture. Finished with a splash of cider vinegar as that is a natural pair. Simply delish! Thanks!!
