Ingredients

5 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup chopped onion
1 medium green cabbage
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows

Directions

Parboil cabbage for 20 to 30 minutes.

Add bacon and onion to skillet and cook until just beginning to brown but remains soft; about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain bacon and onion in a strainer over a bowl and reserve the drippings.

Cut the core out of the cabbage about 3-inches down towards the center and in a circle about 3-inches in diameter. Sprinkle and rub the House Seasoning onto cabbage. With a pastry brush, brush the reserved bacon drippings all over cabbage. Set aside.

Add barbecue sauce to the bowl with the bacon and onions. Mix together. Fill cabbage with this mixture.

Crumble a piece of aluminum foil into a ring about 3-inches in diameter. Place ring on top of grill and set cabbage on top.

Allow to cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Quarter cabbage with a knife when ready to serve.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Labor Day Dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a very tasty and unique way to cook up some cabbage. I have a ton of it from our garden, and was firing up the grill... for the holiday weekend. Parboiling the cabbage helps cut down the cook time on the grill. It was messy and a bit soggy - I think next time, I will do a better job of draining the cabbage after parboiling it. It sure tasted good though!Read more

Adds Nice Flavor to Cabbage
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cooked from the recipe--did not see the show. Recipe needs to state that the butter is added to the bacon and onions that... are being softened. I paired this with grilled lamb ribs simply because it was the only green vegetable I had on hand. Cooking the cabbage in this manner "softened" the flavor and made the pairing very nice.Read more

Great way to eat cabbage
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Usually reserved for boiling with ham or slaw this was a great new idea. I parboiled a while longer. We were doing ribs on a... very low grill temp so I put the cabbage on for the last hour with the ribs. The two of us ate half the head it was so good!Read more

WONDERFUL YA'LL!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I LOVE this stuff! I saw Paula make it on her show and thought it looked delicious, and boy was I right!!! It is even great... the next day heated up in the microwave. Hubby and kids all liked it (which is a tough crowd) enough that it keeps being requested at my house. Thanks for this recipe Paula!Read more

I was in the hospital watching Paula on TV, when this recipe was given. A few weeks later, my husband and I tried it and was... amazed at the taste. I never knew cabbage could be this good. Great going Paula!!Read more
