I love cabbage and I love bacon, what more is there to say. Awesome recipe! Mine overcooked a tiny bit as the accompanying dish was not quite ready, completely my fault. Thanks, loof, made for ZWT9, Panthers On The Prowl

We really enjoyed this tasty dish, loof. It had great flavor and textures. We both liked the addition of cajun seasoning and parmesan cheese The cabbage dish was sweet and savory all in one bite. Made for the Fearless red Dragons - ZWT8 - Great Britian

I thought this was a nice twist on a cabbage dish. Not sure I was sold on the Cajun seasoning, found it a little overpowering, also had clumping issues with the cheese. However, I felt the cheese was a nice addition, next time I will just let everyone add their own.

I chose to use lil smokies in lieu of the bacon for personal preference (like kielbasa and kraut). I also left off the Parmesan for photo presentation. It does add a great touch as I have never had cheese with cabbage before and would definitely recommend trying it. For my preferences, I would omit the Cajun seasoning next time and shred the cabbage (it wouldn't stay on the fork, lol). This dish is really simple to make, and a great use of cabbage. Thanks for posting. :)
