FANTASTIC starter recipe for me. I, too, will have to up the heat. I used ground red pepper in the hopes to "hot it up" (per the reviews). Will need more or maybe both ground and flakes! Anyway, used this on chicken thighs and legs ~ grilled on hardwood charcoal. YUM! My picky 14 year old LOVED it! Can't wait to try it again. Used olive oil (personal preference) instead of veg oil and ground garlic instead of fresh. I was in a hurry and didn't marinade it long, either. Will use this one again, for sure!!

Loved this. I also used canned tomatoes and a green bell pepper as that's what I had on hand. Also added a chopped jalapeno, as we like the heat. HOWEVER, I used left over grilled steak for the beef and since I'd used a bit of mesquite when I grilled the steak, the meat had this smoky flavor that was WONDERFUL in this dish. thank you.

I had this recipe pulled up to make for the Super Bowl last night. Ran to the store to pick up a couple items and when I came home, my internet was down. I had to make this new-to-me recipe from memory. Here's what I did: Browned the bacon (actually 9 or 10 slices) Cooked small cubed red potatoes in the bacon grease while I chopped up half an onion and minced 3 cloves garlic. Added that to potatoes. Then I sliced the cabbage up like it's shredded ~ added to the potatoes/onion/garlic. Remembered: oh my gosh, there was a small amount of sugar water. so, I add about 2 T of sugar to a small amount of water and pour it over the whole. Then I added salt, pepper, some caraway seeds (i found out today I used WAY less than called for in the recipe, but it was perfect for us!) and some crushed red pepper. I browned the kielbasa in another skillet then poured that over the cabbage. I got it pretty durn close! MY FAMILY LOVED THIS. We WILL have this again and probably add it to the regular menu line up! Thank you!
