LOVED IT!! My husband, who can be stingy with compliments raved about it. So much that some of his co-workers have paid me to make it for them a couple of times. I did make a couple of changes...not much. I did use Rotel instead of Picante, as per other reviews and I used stew meat once and also meaty beef neck bones another time to make this a crock pot recipe. A dash or so more cumin, per our liking, and it is a fantastic easy meal. Thanks.

I loved this recipe! What a great way to use up the cabbage. My mom and son loved it, too. I am going to try making it with ground venison, too. I'll let you know how it comes out. Came out great! Yum with ground venison! Also, I cooked some brown rice and mixed it with some of the cabbage patch stew and stuffed some peppers with it!

For not liking Cabbage a whole lot, this is a very tasty dish. It just kept getting better day by day. I made this in my crock pot and let it cook on low for 9 or 10 hours before eating. Very good.

Wonderful! This was so easy and the whole family enjoyed it--even my picky toddler! I made according to recipe except I used light red kidney beans instead of the ranch-style beans and served it over rice! So good! Can't wait to make it again!

I thought this was a great idea to use cabbage so that it wouldn't be as noticed by the kids. Came out very much like a chili with cabbage in it, but my chili kid ate it up. Overall, I found the flavors to be a little bland. I would definitely make this again, but would add some chili powder and more cumin next time.

I made some revisions to this dish, but it was really good. I used ground turkey and a can of rotel tomatoes instead of the picante sauce called for in the recipe. I also used more like a 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and i also added a couple of chicken broth bouillon cubes and I have to tell you - this was an incredibly delicious, low fat meal. I had no complaints! If you're a weight watchers person, this works out to about 1 point per ladle full. Delicious!

I thought it might be bland with no broth, so I added some beef broth in place of the water, and left out the cumin and the beans. Added a pinch of marjoram and also added some rice to it. It turned out okay.

I didn't have ranch style beans, green pepper or celery, so I used white kidney beans and yellow pepper. The only thing is that it was quite spicy, I'm not sure if the picante I used was different but a 1/4 seems like a lot. I still liked it but my dad couldn't eat it.

I love this recipe and have made it many times now! I used black beans instead of ranch and added a 1/2 lb of spicy ground pork with my ground beef; simmered the onion and celery into my meat. Substited carrot for the bell pepper. IMO You really don't need to simmer this all day!... I simmer about an hour until veggies are done. Taste even better the next day!
