I'm not claiming this is an "authentic" Irish bacon & cabbage...but it is good, and it is simple. I had about a half a head of cabbage sitting in the fridge that I really needed to use, and of course, I had bacon. Mmmmmm....BACON. St. Paddy's day is coming up soon, so I figure I'm just getting warmed up.
