Anthony's Notes:

I went over my moms today, and when I walked into her house, The entire place smelled like Cabbage and Bacon. When I asked her what she was making, She just said "Try it" so I did. And it was pretty good, Though I'm not much of a Cabbage fan, I knew a lot of you would enjoy this! This is my Great Grandmothers recipe, She was your stereotypical "Off the Boat" Polish ladies, Who barely spoke a lick of english. She was such a treasure. So in Tribute to my Great Grandmother, I share this recipe with you all, My Great Grandmothers Traditional Haluski! Enjoy :)

Directions

Fry up bacon until not completely crisp but cooked through, Drain and reserve on the side.

Take out about half of the bacon fat and discard.

NOTE:DON'T START FRYING THE ONIONS UNTIL 5 MINUTES BEFORE CABBAGE IS FINISHED

Fry the onions in the other half of the bacon fat.

Boil cabbage with 3 cloves of garlic until tender. Remove from water and Julienne. Add to onions and fry until both onions and Cabbage is Golden Brown

boil egg noodles until tender, then add to the Onion cabbage mixture

add the bacon, and 1/2 stick of butter, Drizzle with Olive oil, Stir until butter is melted and serve hot, and Enjoy! :)

Me too Bonnie....sometimes I just set and eat almost a whole raw head.
I love it cookie but my Hubs doesn't, he does not even like to smell it cooking (thus the reason I usually eat it raw, slaw or mix it in a toss salad).

This is a special family recipe Anthony, thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you both. And generally I dont care for cabbage either, But the bacon and onions do it justice :) Thank you both!

LOL Cin...sometimes when I make Corn Beef and Cabbage or the New England Pork Butt, I'll only eat the cabbage, potatoes and carrots. Then other times I just, like you, eat the head raw.
