Steps:
- NOTE: My mother cooks this with 2 cups water and mashes the potatoes and cabbage after cooking, before adding the bacon. Though this tastes good it does not look very tempting. :).
- FOR CABBAGE: Remove outer dark or dry cabbage leaves, cut cabbage into eights and cut the core away.Cut cabbage crosswise in 1/8 inch strips. Wash and drain cabbage, removing any thick "ribs".
- Wash, peel and cut potatoes in 3/4 inch dice.
- Put potatoes, salt, cumin, bay leaf and water in a large pot, cover and boil potatoes for 15 minutes until just tender.
- Add cabbage, stir thoroughly and boil over medium heat about 7 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the cabbage to have some bite and most of the liquid to have cooked off. You might need to add a little hot water if all liquid has cooked off before the cabbage is done.
- Depending on the size of your pot it might be necessary to add the cabbage in batches. Cover the pot between batches and let reduce volume before adding rest of cabbage.
- FOR BACON MIXTURE: When potatoes are almost done heat oil in a small pan over medium heat, fry bacon until pale golden, add onions and cook until bacon is crisp and onions golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and pour off most of the fat.
- TO ASSEMBLE: The cabbage should be only moist. If there is too much liquid raise heat and cook it off, stirring often. Remove from heat, add cayenne, lemon juice and most of bacon mixture. Stir to mix and adjust seasoning.
- To serve: Top cabbage with rest of bacon mixture (and parsley)as garnish.

GERMAN CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KOHL UND HACKFLEISCH
Cabbage and meat mildly seasoned with garlic and onions in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs for a pretty presentation! A real comfort food. Even those who say they HATE cabbage will eat this and like it! I have even made this without the meat- using bulgur and veggie broth. Here is how: Just replace the meat with the same amount of bulgur- (for 1 lb of meat sub 1 cup bulgur) you will want to soak the bulgur according to the instructions on the package- if you bought it in bulk here is how... Bring 2 cups of veggie broth ( can use bouillon and water) per 1 cup bulgur When broth is boiling stir in bulgur. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until bulgur is soft. All the broth should be absorbed. Fluff the bulgur with a fork as you would rice and add to your recipe. I have used beef, pork, turkey and chicken with great results too. *See NOTE for freezing, make ahead and left over tips*

Steps:
- Brown meat, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink and onion has turned clear.
- Drain grease from pan and discard.
- Add cabbage and cover.
- Cook until cabbage is clear.
- Add cheese and sour cream mixing well.
- Pour all into greased casserole and top with bread crumbs.
- Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
- *NOTE: to freeze- make ahead or re-heat left overs: compliments of Chef Marie Alice:* I froze half of this when I originally made it. This freezes excellently and if anything tastes even better after! I reheated it by melting a little butter in a skillet and then crumbling the partially thawed casserole into it, cooking and stirring until it was heated through.
