This is a wonderful example of American born cooks recreation of their Polish mothers or grandmothers cooking. My grandmother never used a written recipe, she measured with her hands, fingers and eyes. The amount of cabbage is my eyeball measurement of a head of chopped cabbage.

This was so good!!! It does make a large pie. I will need to downsize the recipe for just the two of us. I live at a high altitude so baked at 425 degrees for 15 min then 375 degrees for 30 plus min. I kind of lost track of the time. I kept the edges of pie crust covered until the last few minutes of baking time. Before baking I brushed the crust with an egg /water mixture. ThanksReply

Thanks for a great tasting recipe. Nobody in my family could find anything negative to say about this. Will have again and again over the years, I'm sure. Thanks again.Reply

This pie was easy and delicious. I'm amazed how a minimal amount of ingredients can create an amazingly flavorful and satisfying dish. I followed Carol's Polish grandmother's recipe above but brushed the top of the crust with some sour cream in tribute to my Polish grandmother who never let a crust cook without some dairy to moisten it. Great is certainly open to any chef's creativity. This recipe is a keeper.Reply

A wonderful presentation.This makes a very full pie. Carol this was just great. Since bacon was in the mixture I used all beef. I added 1/2 cup ketchup and 1 teaspoon crushed caraway seed to the mixture. Then brushed the top crust with buttermilk and sprinkled some caraway on top.I baked the first 15 minutes in a 425 degree oven then the last 30 minutes at 350 degrees.I did place the pie dish on a baking sheet which caught the drippings that bubbled over. Thanks from my Husband too!1Reply -
