This is really good. My usual cabbage dinner is boiled with kielbasa and boiled potatoes on the side. This is now my other way to eat cabbage. I love it. It’s easy to make with readily available ingredients. Sometimes I’ll add a dash of vinegar to my bowl but it’s just as good on its own.

My husband and I were not impressed with this dish. We thought it was just OK. It is easy to put together - I didn't even bother to peel the potatoes - and it is filling. I would cut back on both the sugar and the vinegar, but to be honest, I doubt I'll make this again.

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 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
