Cheesy Bacon Cabbage

This is one of our favorites. Its made it onto our holiday menu for many years now.


1 large head of cabbage
1 lb bacon
2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese
salt to taste
pepper to taste


Fry bacon and set aside. Save the drippings in the skillet. Chop cabbage into roughly 1 inch pieces. Fry the cabbage in the bacon drippings until desired doneness. Once removed from the pan salt and pepper to taste and toss cabbage to mix salt and pepper. Do not salt and pepper before cabbage is removed from the pan. This will cause moisture to be drawn from the cabbage and it wont fry well.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar on top of the cabbage. Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top of the cheese. Serve while hot.
