cabbage and bacon main

Cabbage was not something I ate often–if at all–growing up. As an adult I only eat it a couple times a year when we make corned beef and cabbage or when my husband makes his family baked-stuffed cabbage recipe. This recipe will change that. The cabbage was soft with a slight creaminess to it. The bacon added flavor. And as an added bonus, I used the leftovers in a sandwich, which was so good.
