Katie, cooked the cabbage. But did do it my way. It was really good, everybody liked it. Here is what I did.
Boiled the cabbage wedges for 6 min. Drained and let cool.
Fry half pound bacon until crisp, chopped into bits.
Sauté onion in bacon fat, drain well, reserve half of the onions.
Cabbage with bacon and onions.

For the topping:
I used panco bread crumbs, mixed in the rest of the sautéed onions, added 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon caraway seed. Sour cream was mixed with chicken stock, 1/2 cup each. Then poured around the outside edge of the topping.
Ready for the oven.

I passed these improvements on to my son and he's delighted with them - says he'd love to join you in a kitchen and cook up a storm! He'd certainly have a ball! There's nothing he likes more than improvisational cooking. Me, I'm just a by-the-book type with little to no imagination. katie

Thanks y'all, it was kinda fun. I really hate to tell people I played with there recipe. Some folks don't like that. I just added the flavors that we like. Fat rules, we all know that. CF
