This was good and I think next time I will do what the others have said here and cook it longer.

This was a great way to use up all of that cabbage from our CSA. Even my husband liked it, and he doesn't care for cabbage that much. Cooked it for about 1/2 hour before adding the sour cream, rather than the 5-6 minutes recommended in the recipe.

I followed this recipe with some exceptions; I used a whole head of cabbage and 5x's the ingredients and use 1lb of bacon. I let the cabbage simmer for about 4 hrs. and I added the sour cream when I prepared a dish for myself. It is the best cabbage I have ever tasted.
