We thought this was a good way to have cabbage as a side dish. It was a little spicy so next time I think I'll try 1 can of Rotel and 1 can of plain diced tomatoes. I also used turkey bacon to reduce the fat a little bit.

I made this for dinner tonight as a side to our sausages. I doubled the garlic, which is a must for our garlic loving family. I also used homemade Rotel with fresh peppers and tomatoes from the garden. It was ok, but not a family favorite. Lots of leftovers and I am hoping they will be more flavorful after melding all night.

Great salad! We like the way it was spicy also. Made with Ranch chicken thighs. Thanks!

I thought this recipe was great, my family thought it was too spicy. Good thing I do the ratings :}. I cut the recipe in half, but still used two cloves of garlic. From the reviews I knew it would be spicy so I served it with a plain poached chicken breast with colby jack cheese on top.

Made for ZWT3(Mexico). Great! I had never used Rotel before -- I think they're a bit spicy for me, but that's not the recipe's fault. I thought this was a great way to cook cabbage without using much fat. I used turkey bacon, so there wasn't a lot of bacon fat to cook in -- but I don't think it mattered. Very flavorful!
