Alliecat's Cheesy Chicken Bacon Cabbage Casserole

Recipe from Linda’s Low Carb Menus & Recipes

8 slices bacon, chopped

1 medium cabbage, chopped (about 36 oz.)

1 small onion, chopped (2 ½ oz.)

1 green or red bell pepper, chopped

2 Tbsp butter or bacon grease

salt and pepper to taste

4 cups diced cooked chicken breast (18 oz.)

1 cup sour cream

8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded

4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded

paprika

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 tbsp of the grease, if desired.

Discard any remaining bacon grease.

Saute 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 X 13 baking pan.

Top with 4 ounces of cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 450 deg. until golden brown and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Let stand about 10 – 15 minutes before serving.

Makes about 8 servings.
