"Don't be surprised if even your kids like this grilled treat. It's easy to cook this alongside steaks or burgers on the grill, as long as you start the cabbage wedges first."

  1. Splendid! Savory flavor, super easy, crowd pleaser, type of ingredients most keep on hand. I hope everyone tries this recipe. It's a keeper. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. We really enjoy cabbage and tried this a couple of nights ago. It was really great - I baked it in the oven at 425 degrees for 45 minutes. I also opened the packs about half way through cooking time and sprinkled the cabbage with some white vinegar. Closed the packs and finished cooking - absolutely terrific. Thanks for a different, but simple way to do a much maligned veggie!
     
  3. I have made cabbage in a pan stir fried with bacon, but I have also grilled mine, but not with bacon. LOVED IT! Made it in between Xmas and New Years but it was a last minute decision and it was on my list to rate this, sorry for the delay. I actually did mine for a late lunch with some friends. I had made some grilled brats my friends and I just made (homemade) and onions so what a better side dish. It was GREAT! Definitely on my list.
     
  4. Wonderful! Even my non-veggie eating granddaughter loved this. First, I melted the butter and spooned it on each side of the wedge so that it permeated to the inside of the cabbage, then I mixed bacon crumbles and dehydrated onions in with the salt and parmesan mixture and tapped it in a bit. After that, I wrapped each wedge in tin foil and baked it in my convection toaster oven for an hour while I cooked the rest of the meal. Turned out delicious! I'll definitely be making this over, and over. Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  5. This is WONDERFUL!! If you lay the bacon on the aluminum foil before you put the cabbage on it is even easier. Then just season and pull the bacon around the wedge.......GREAT

  1. Left out the parmesan.
     
  2. Excellent outdoor cooking. It worked out beautifully in 30-35 min. Used dehydrated garlic flakes in place of powder, and skipped the bacon...this time...next time, a different story. This is so easy, good, and practical I don't know why I never thought of it before. Thanks! August 16, 2007: have made this recipe with bacon this time...I'm sorry but I didn't enjoy it as much as without bacon! It became a heavier meal, and the bacon was only half done after 40 min. I'll go back to my original preparation which I enjoy very much!

<p>September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. <br /> <br /> <br />--- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time:</p> 8754768"
