Cheesy Chicken Cabbage Casserole

• 8 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 medium cabbage, chopped (about 36 ounces)
• 1 small onion, chopped,
  (2 1/2 ounces)

In a very large Dutch oven or wok, fry the bacon until crisp; remove from pan to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve 2 tablespoons of the grease, if desired. Discard any remaining bacon grease.

Sauté the cabbage, onions and bell peppers in butter or bacon grease until tender and wilted; season well with salt and pepper. Stir in the chicken, sour cream, bacon and 8 ounces of cheese. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

Spread in a greased 9×13" baking pan. Top with 4 ounces of cheese and sprinkle with paprika.

Bake at 450°F until golden brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 8 servings.

NadineM’s Low Carb Barbecue Sauce

I had to share this recipe. It’s great on ribs. Just brush it on near the end of grilling.

Combine and heat:
12-14 oz sugar free catsup
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 tsp. Splenda
liberal sprinkle of red and black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 of a seeded lemon, diced fine
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/8 tsp. Spanish paprika
1/8 tsp. saffron
1/4 tsp. ground ginger

For a smoky flavor, put some mesquite chips in foil and lay on the coals.

NOTE:  You can thicken this with some Guar Gum, Gluccomanan Powder or whatever thickener you want.  You can also use this in the crock pot for some great barbecue.
