Cooking the Sausages:

Prepare the Onions:

Cooking the Bacon:
- Add the bacon slices to the pan and cook over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and drain them on paper towels.

Wilt the Cabbage:
- In the same pan, add the savoy cabbage along with 2 tablespoons of water.
- Quickly cook the cabbage for 2 to 3 minutes until it just begins to wilt.
- Drain off any excess fat and set the cabbage aside.

Layering the Pie:
- Grease a large gratin dish with 1 ounce of the remaining unsalted butter.

Creating the Creamy Sauce:
