Serves: 4-6 hungry Dwarves
Prep Time: About 1 hr., 20 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
1 lb. bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips1 large head cabbage, quartered and thinly sliced
1 large leek, slinly sliced
3/4 cup water
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2-3 small green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp. celery seed
Salt and fresh-ground black pepper
3 tbsp. butter or high-quality margarine
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (whole wheat are best)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375º F.Cook bacon in heavy pot (cast-iron is wonderful!) over medium-high heat, about 10-12 minutes or until the bacon starts to brown. Add cabbage and leek and sauté another 10 minutes. Add water and vinegar; bring to a boil. Cover and turn heat down to medium; simmer about 15 minutes, till cabbage is tender. Uncover, increase heat, and boil about 10 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated--making sure to stir often. Turn heat off. Add parsley, green onions, and celery seed; mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer vegetable and bacon mixture to casserole dish or glass pie pan.
Melt butter or margarine in skillet over low heat, careful not to let it burn. Add breadcrumbs and stir about another 10 minutes, or until crisp. Sprinkle crumbs over casserole. Bake, uncovered, about 10 minutes.
Let sit for a few minutes before serving.

This was amazing! I cooked it for my parents, and there was none left after dinner. I made it again for some friends, and they loved it! I could eat myself sick on it, personally.
I wonder if this would work with Turkey Bacon. We don’t eat pork
