"This dish is commonly known as "fried" cabbage, even though it's usually a mixture of sautéing, and braising or stewing, being cooked low and simmered in its own juices, rather than being flash fried. We love it down here in the south, and have it often as a side, but sometimes I even make it and have a bowl for lunch or dinner. No matter how you have it, it's darn good! Variations: Substitute a good Andouille or smoked sausage, or ham, sliced or chopped, for the bacon. Can also add in chopped fresh tomatoes or one can of stewed tomatoes, cut up, to the cabbage. You can use your kitchen shears to cut them up right in the can. You can also use one can of Rotel or regular diced tomatoes, and add about 1/2 of a green pepper, chopped with the onion, if desired. Originallly from Deep South Dish."
