This was really really good and loved the Smash Seasoning. My cabbage did get a tad over cooked but not bad. I did add an onion with the caabbage which we loved. I'll make this again. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2012

LOVE this recipe. I used maple flavored bacon, as that was all I had and it was amazing! The Smash seasoning was cool too. I put a tad too much salt in, but I am still looking forward to eating the leftovers. Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap September 2008.
