Len I know what your saying about cabbage and bacon. I love cabbage fixed just about any way it can be fixed. My favorite is buy a smaller head of cabbage and cut it into quarters. Put each quarter in the pan with a lid and turn it on low with just a little water. It steams it rather then cooking it like in other types of dishes. Put in a little butter for about 15 minutes before you take it out of the pan. Put it on a plate, smother it in real butter and pour the butter in the pan over it also. Add some sea salt and coarse ground pepper and on a cold day it really hits the spot. How about some old school cabbage rolls with a toothpick through them and slowly boiled in tomato juice, Its hard to do cabbage wrong.

Add some homemade egg noodles to that cabbage and bacon……oh ya almost forgot, about a 1/2 stick of butter also. Now that I have told you how I would do it, I have to say it looks fabulous, after all, how can you ruin anything with cabbage or bacon in it.

YOU make me cook Len!

BK….its also great the way Len makes if you replace the bacon for the ‘Miracle Meat in a Can’ that you enjoy so much…

Do you guys have a name for this? My wife’s family is Slovak and they have a Polish name for it.

Bacon with cabbage, Dave. Slovaks always tell you what kind of meat you’re about to eat first.

Looks good. I like to do that and finish with a splash of vinegar and saute in some dried cranberries.

That’s a staple around my house…sausage n onions too!

you are correct sir. I am a full blood Czech, only second generation born here. My mom cooked all the delights from the “OLD COUNTRY”. halushka was originally just cabbage and noodles fried in butter, as back in the old country, there wasn’t much meat and alot or cabbage. I have since made it different ways with bacon, sausage, and ham. I make halushka as a side dish at the fire house and the boys like it. Halubke, gulubke(polish saying), cabbage rolls for you non slovak’s, is another favorite.

I like cabbage, bacon, onion, jalapenos and hot sauce. Mmmmmmmm

Take a head of cabbage, cut it in half. Use olive oil, salt and pepper and cover the two halves of cabbage equally. Wrap each half of the cabbage with a few strips of bacon. Individually wrap each bacon wrapped cabbage piece with tin foil, place on medium heat for 25 minutes (turning every 5-6 minutes). Take off the grill and enjoy. Really good!

My wife makes some dish that’s cabbage, bacon and….cream. In the oven.

So good. I think I can feel my heart start to slow down when I eat it as it struggles to keep up.
