This is a delicious, comforting stew. I used sweet potato instead of white because I needed to use it up. I used WONDRA flour so I omitted the water. I would make this again!

This was yum-my! I didn't have the beans. So, I doubled the cabbage. My mom was disappointed I wasn't making cabbage and sausage, with boiled potatoes on the side. One bite, she said, ohhh, this is gooo-oood. This is a keeper for me!

This is a recipe my family enjoys! It is a great take on a lazy cabbage roll stew. I love how quick and easy it is. I like to use white or black beans in place of the kidney beans.

I got this recipes years ago from a Taste of Home magazine. I absolutely love it! Misplaced the recipe, googled it and it came up - so excited to have it back. Delicious.

Excellent. 3 small potatoes = 1 lb. 2 c. = ½ small head of cabbage.

We liked this stew but we made some changes. We used red beans,cut the sugar to 1 teaspoon, and added vinegar to taste starting at a teaspoon at a time. good
