This simple side is packed with texture and flavor from tender cabbage, earthy mushrooms and salty bacon - combined in a rich and creamy stock.

This is a great side for Sunday lunch served with chicken or pork.

      This is delicious! I really eyeballed mine and made a larger batch, I used apple cider vinegar. Didn’t measure anything. I did the onions and bacon, threw in mushrooms, added a dollop of butter and covered while I cut up the cabbage. Added the cabbage and chicken broth and covered till the cabbage was cooked. Then I added the cream and let that cook for a minute. SO good.

        Yummy. Took a quadruple batch to a potluck and people loved it. Definitely will make this again. I didn’t have onions so I used leeks.

          This is so simple and soo incredibly delicious!! Highly recommend! I took out the onion and used apple cider vinegar instead of basalmic to save a bit on net carbs and it tasted wonderful!

            No need to make this a side dish. This is a meal itself....and an awesome one at that.

                The flavors & simplicity are really great. The cooking method isn't. The bacon, because it's put in with the cabbage, doesn't get browned. Neither do the mushrooms. Next time, I will cook onions & bacon together, then brown the mushrooms; then the cabbage. I'd deglaze the pan with the chicken stock, then cream & vinegar last for a pop of acidity. I served it as a main meal with riced cauliflower. And salt & pepper! Very good tasting, comfort food!

                  Agree with your cooking method. I swapped out the heavy cream with sour cream. By adding chunked chicken breast (or shrimp) to the sauté it becomes a very satisfying dinner.
