Creamed Cabbage with Bacon and Caraway has only 5 ingredients and got two giant thumbs-up from my entire family of men.
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2015. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
I took my inspiration for my dish of Creamed Caggabe with Bacon and Caraway from food blogger and book author, Molly Wizenberg.
I first learned of Molly from her book "A Homemade Life" which I read months ago. Molly's recipe for Cream Braised Green Cabbage has been lingering in my mind ever since.
If you're a lover of recipes, with delicious tales of family and life experiences behind them, then I can't recommend Molly's books highly enough. The stories she shares will feed your soul, inspire you greatly, and leave you hungry for more.
I made this the other night when I was looking for a side dish to accompany some leftover German Beef Rouladen that I had made earlier in the week.
Creamed Cabbage with Bacon and Caraway comes together in only a matter of minutes and is the perfect side dish to accompany your corned beef this St. Patrick's Day, or any day for that matter.
