Miss Mimmy's Old Dutch Pot (fried cabbage)

Ms. Mimmy called this her OLD DUTCH POT (I don't mean disrespect) but I could care less if it is Dutch or German.... This has become a debatable issue for some... all I know is that out of respect for Ms. Mimmy I will continue to call it her OLD DUTCH POT......

*** this was taught to me by a neighbor that I believe was of German decent.. She said that she and her husband worked and she would make this meal because it was fast and easy ... my husband and I bought the house next door.. she would be sitting in the porch and I would go over and sit with her for hours.. she was a wonderful cheerleader... she passed away 2 yrs ago... and though her name was Mary ... her family called her Mimmy and she asked that I do to... I loved her so much..
