This was easy and excellent, even if I had to simmer the cabbage a bit longer to get done. I added the bacon at the end of cooking to keep it a bit crisper and the bacon flavor was just heavenly. Thanks for posting!!

This was very good. It reminded me of German potato salad, except with cabbage!

made this as part of a take-home package for my DS, and was advised it was wonderful! I added in some cayenne pepper and increased the bacon a few slices, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten

Yummy! I made this with turkey bacon, so I didn't have the extra fat. I added a little extra splenda for taste. Thanks for the tasty recipe, WI Cheesehead!

I have been making this recipe for years, and years. It is out of an old Betty Crocker cookbook dated back in 1969. That is the year I met my DH. He is german and I have always been on the hunt for good german dishes. This one is excellent!! Thanks, WI Cheesehead for posting.
