Keto Cheesy Bacon Cabbage. Um Yum Oh Boy! This is so easy and can be baking while you are fixing the rest of your meal. It is the perfect accompaniment to Braised Short Ribs, Southern Deep Fried Chicken, or Beef Rouladen. I don’t have my heavy cream in the group picture because it was reducing with the bacon grease; I forgot and put it away. So, if you love bacon and you love cheese, then this keto cheesy bacon cabbage is for you.

- It is really a good idea to squeeze your cooked cabbage as it will leach more as it bakes and I would suggest letting your heavy cream thicken as the liquid will thin it even with baking.
