Just made it this morning for the third year in a row. I use a half-pound of deli corned beef; I tell the guy behind the counter to slice it in one half-pound chunk and then I slice it to my preference before cooking. I love how quick, easy, and delicious this is!

I'm not real big on cabbage but this recipe is really good. I'll stick with this one!!

This has a good, comfort food flavor. I found it to be very salty when I made it. I wonder if there's a low-sodium canned corned beef.

I was looking for this recipe to see if it was posted yet, if it wasn't I was going to. I love this and it's so easy. I have forgotten the bacon a couple of times and it is still good. Everyoneshould try this if they like cabbage at all. Thanks mandabears!!
