Notes
- Cut the cabbage to the same size so it cooks at the same rate.
- Cook time will depend on the size of the cabbage pieces. These are 1-inch pieces and need between 10-18 minutes. Larger 2-inch pieces may need up to 25 minutes.
- Add more liquid and a little extra bacon to make it into a delicious cabbage soup.
- Storage - keep leftovers in airtight containers inside the fridge for 4 days.
- There are 7 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this.
