Before you walk away from this crockpot red cabbage stew you must know that it tastes VERY GOOD. Try it!
Take a look at what my friend Audrey from the Melady Cooks food blog had to say about this magnificent recipe:
We loved the colorful cabbage stew and had leftovers to enjoy for several more meals. The next time I make it perhaps I’ll add some diced sweet bell peppers to give it a slight change of flavors. You can’t have too many vegetables in a stew, can you? Or maybe add some black beans, chili powder and cumin to make it more of a chili. My P.S. walked in the door that evening and thought I was making chili! Chili with cabbage might be a good idea!
What a great idea! Cabbage chili? Yummy!
