How to Make Polish American Cabbage Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1/2 pound bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble. Set aside.
  3. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.
  4. Brown 1 pound pork sausage, draining excess grease. Set aside.
  5. Add reserved bacon drippings to the skillet. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 medium head of cabbage (about 4 cups chopped). Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage is tender-crisp (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Stir in crumbled bacon, cooked pork, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Combine well.
  7. Line a 9-inch pie pan with one pie crust. Add half of the cabbage mixture and top with 8 slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., cheddar, Swiss).
  8. Add the remaining cabbage mixture and cover with the second pie crust.
  9. Seal and crimp the edges. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake on a baking sheet for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
