Ms. MO's Note:

My husband didn't think he liked cabbage until I served this. The bacon and onion really give this recipe a lot of flavor.

This is a wonderful meal. I only par cookedthe bacon and added it back in when I added the sausage. I then fried the whole thing until it was carmalized. We served this with garlic mashed potatoes and rolls. (I like to eat the dish on top of the mash potatoes) We will definately make this again, like another reviewer, we thought the balance of flavors was perfect. Thank you so much for sharing ths with us.

Excellent cabbage dish! I omitted the bacon & used apple juice in place of the water. The result was slightly sweet, savory, a wee bit of spicy, and excellent cabbage. TThank you for sharing this recipe! =)

This is a knockout dish. Perfect balance of spicy, salt, and sweet. One of the very few dishes in my repetoire that I'll make exactly the same way every time. Thanks for sharing!
