This is delicious as is! However, it can be made a little healthier and still as delicious: To preserve nutrients otherwise lost to the cooking water, microwave the cabbage for 2 minutes to soften. To cut back a little on fat and calories, use a small amount of olive oil to cook the onion and microwaved cabbage, and bacon that has been pre-cooked and drained of grease (but don't eliminate the bacon pieces! It really makes the dish!). I also use a higher cabbage:potato ratio. Sometimes sweet potato, sometimes no potato. Another delicious variation is to use smoked turkey or duck instead of ham.

I make this with a sausage instead of ham.

Yum! This is such a great throw together one pot meal!!! My dad came over and practically licked his plate! There was hardly any left for leftovers either. Thanks for the great recipe!

My whole family enjoyed this, as did a visiting 4-year-old neighbor child, who declared "That was soooo good! I never had cabbage that I liked before!" I was looking for a way to use up some potatoes and leftover ham, and this was perfect. I boiled the potatoes (not too long) and then cubed them. I used smoked paprika. I also used maple bacon, I love that stuff. I like the idea of using Spam instead of ham; might try that next time. Accompanying it with fried eggs also sounds good. No leftovers here!

This was really good. I used a bag of shredded cabbage (cooked it as directed). I cooked the bacon separately and drained off the grease before adding the ingredients all together. I sauteed the onion in the butter. Yum!
