"This is a quick easy side dish for any meal, goes well with mashed/German potatoes and a main meat dish eg: steak, rissoles, chicken. My family love this."

Yum. I am used to making cabbage more or less this way using just butter, but the bacon takes it to entirely new heights. I did use half-a-cup of chicken broth, rather than water and a stock cube. Delicious.
