My Mom has recently acquired this delicious recipe from a friend of hers and has made it several times since.  In fact it the kind of recipe that no matter how many times you eat it you want more, at every possible occasion.  In fact she served it at Thanksgiving, Christmas and I begged her to make it again for New Years Day she obliged and I am forever grateful.  The best part is that she shared the recipe with me, and now I am sharing it with you.

It’s so creamy the cabbage just melds to the cream, top that with Bacon and its a winner.  Not to mention it only has 5 ingredients.   Serve this to your family, they will be begging you for more.  Just ask my Mom!

Ingredients: 1 large head of cabbage (shredded), 1 large onion sliced, 3 T. cornstarch, salt & pepper, splash of Tabasco (optional), 2 cups heavy cream, raw bacon crumbled (about 7 pieces)

Start off with a large head of cabbage, remove the tough outer leaves and rinse well.

Then cut off the stem

then cut in half length wise straight down the middle

see the center of the stem that will need to be removed

so cut each half in half again

Then place the flat side down and at a angle where the stem is,

go ahead and chop it out and discard

Then simply chop the rest of the cabbage

add all the chopped cabbage to the 9 X 13 casserole, it’s ok if it seems to be overflowing cabbage wilts alot as it bakes.

Then slice a whole onion

and add on top of the sliced cabbage

Then in a separate bowl its time for the creamy goodness

Start off with 3 T cornstarch

add 2 cups of heavy cream

1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper

add a splash of Tabasco (optional) but I think it adds a great depth of flavor

whisk together until smooth and lump free

Then pour evenly over the cabbage

Then dice up 7 pieces of raw bacon

and spread them out on top of the cabbage

Cover with foil and place on a larger pan (just in case of spill overs) bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours about 10 minutes before its done remove the foil so the bacon will brown.

when you remove it from the oven it will look like this.

and then you stir it and see all the wonderful creaminess! Enjoy!
