Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I make this all the time! EVERYONE loves it! It is KETO, ATKINS and SB diet friendly just as it is!

I make a recipe like this but use about 1/4 low sodium chicken or beef broth in place of the butter. It is very good and cuts fat /calories. I still use the bacon in the form of bacon bits

loved this. Really can't go wrong with cabbage

I did not care for this at all. Greasy, yucky. I served it with pork chops and threw out what was left.

I've been looking for a yummy cabbage recipe, I hope this is it. Especially since there's bacon and a head of cabbage in my fridge. You don't really add the peas in with the cabbage do you? Cooking frozen peas for that long doesn't sound right. I think I'll just add them in at the end.

Hi there! The Test Kitchen says that you can add the (thawed) frozen peas in the end if you do not wish to let them cook.

I myself like cabbage many different ways but I'm on a mission to make converts of the rest of my family. I think this might do it, and now that bacon is available at my local grocery store in the uncured no nitrates version, I don't mind using it.

variation of Krautspaekle-comfort food no matter what you add

Luvmyjava6657761683, yes its green peas. This is very good and only wayhubby will eat cooked cabbage.

What type of frozen peas? Green I am assuming. Everybody be NICE!!! We are here to learn and help one another. Thanks.

Hi there! We used frozen green peas in this recipe. Enjoy!

Creamed cabbage and fried cabbage are 2 different dishes.

We call this fried cabbage. leave out the peas, add onion, carrots, small potatoes (boiled) at the end, salt and pepper and you've got a quick dinner.

Then it's not the same thing at all, so why comment?

These recipes I have reviewed look and sound divine. I am gong to try a couple of them and more later on. I am so thankful you have recipes to give ideas to for parties.

You really shouldn't give stars to it until you make it since it throws off the average. You can leave a comment if you'd like without giving stars.

I used a can of peas and also diced up a yellow apple for a little sweetness. I really enjoyed it.

I Love Mr. Food Greats Recipe.

Finally a Yummy way to eat cabbage!

You can also add rice to the mix.

love the cabbage but i add butter to it

It states to add half stick of butter.....read instructions.

I'm just wondering, do you drain the grease after you cook the bacon or are you cooking the cabbage in the grease?

Do not drain the grease. Use the bacon drippings and butter to cook the remainder of the ingredients. Thank you for your question and enjoy!

the cabbage is cooked in the grease.

My crew likes anything with bacon...

My crew likes anything with bacon...

I make the same recipe, but without the bacon!I saute the cabbage on butter and add onions and cook until tender. When done I add a bag of cooked egg noodles and toss it altogether..add salt and pepper...great dish!

Your recipe is nothing like this one...no bacon, no peas.

That would be fried cabbage with noodles.

That is how my Mom cooked cabbage-called it Krautspaekle and LOTS of pepper(cabbage noodles) go to comfort food

The recipe does NOT state DRAIN BACON GREASE, it says ADD other ingredientsto the pot!!!

DO YOU KEEP THE BACON GREASE IN THE POT,OR DO YOU DISCARD IT??

You keep the bacon grease in the pan. When adding the rest of the ingredients, the grease will help to saute everything. Sounds yummy.

Really like this recipe. We prefer this to sauerkraut. Works well as a side dish with most other foods. Liked "Margaux" hint about cutting bacon into pieces before cooking.

my husband don't like cooked cabbage and he loved it!!!!

i would like to know what to do with the bacon grease- discard or use with butter

since youre not using water, I'd assume you'd use it to cook the cabbage in!

read the recipe

Throw in some cooked egg noodles, sliced keilbossa and this becomes a wonderfully good main dish.

Helpful Hint: Instead of cooking bacon and then crumbling, I found using my kitchen scissors to cut the bacon into small pieces and then cooking it. I tried this once because I don't like getting all that grease on my hands from crumbling after cooking. Works well!

Add onion for a robust flavor. Good for you too.

I omit the butter and use a little green pepper

I first browned a ham steak, removed from pan and added the cabbage and boiled potatoes quartered. Placed chunks of ham steak on top and let it cook covered until cabbage was wilted. Served with toasted breadcrumbs on top. Great dish.

I grew up with cooked cabbage and melted velveeta cheese. It is great!!

I also add a 14oz. can of diced tomatoes. Delish!

I use pepperoni in my cabbage too. it give a good added flavor.

This is so good and adding slices of sausage is what we like instead of bacon. In the summer we take purple cabbage cut in 1/4 wedges and wrap each one with foil, leaving last end open for adding some water, close up and throw on the grill. Top rack while you cook your other foods is required because you could burn it. Just add butter on top each one when you serve it. People will love this. Hope you enjoy!!!

Fried Cabbage is a Southern dish mostly. I was raised PA Dutch style with fried cabbage. Neither style has so much grease in it. If you use the bacon grease only use a couple TBS of it, and NO butter. If you use the butter discard all the bacon grease. A little of either goes a long way. BTW, now I have to go cook some, made me hungry for cabbage fried.
