Bacon can make anything yummy.

I mostly stewed cabbage in a dutch oven before, sometimes with just a little bacon fat, salt and pepper, sometimes with other flavorings. Then one day I saw (probably on Pinterest) a recipe with thick slices of purple cabbage with olive oil and gorgonzola cheese that you baked in the oven and I thought.... ."I never thought of that"..... so the testing began and so far, I've really enjoyed the outcome. Who knew? Now I see so many recipes for baked cabbage and they call them Cabbage Steaks.....LOL.... Fun and Yummy....

We used to just call it fried cabbage. I'd put wedges in the skillet with some butter. I learned that method from my mother in law, and since my family all loved it, I made it frequently. The oven method sure would have saved a lot of dish washing!

... and anything that saves dish washing has to be good.... right?? LOL

Exactly! Although now that I only have myself to cook for I sometimes miss the mess of cooking for the family!
