this was good, but I can honestly say that my grandmother from Ireland made this a lot. Some times more than my father would have liked. We used the ends of salted pork to make it and no garlic. I really enjoyed the changes

I changed a few things after making it the 1st time exactly as recipie is, I do not use the vinegar (as it is not a flavor we care for that much) I also add more garlic and add fresh sliced rings of onions. I cook the onion and garlic in coconut oil, not the bacon fat. It is a lot of work for me, because I do not own a food processor, but well worth it, as it has become one of my favorite veggie dishes.

I used apple cider vinegar which sweetened it just a bit and I seasoned it with creole. I also drained the dripping to save on fat calories, still tasted amazing. I have made this recipe with ground beef.

I loved this- all my favorite flavors in one dish, but my boyfriend found it a little strong.

We all really enjoyed this recipe, but I couldn't give it five stars because I tasted it as is and it wasn't quite right to me. I added a packet of Splenda to it after making it as per the directions, and the Splenda made a huge difference. It wasn't sweet at all, but it helped to cut down on the zing from all the vinegar. If you're eating low carb, I would definitely try this recipe. The only thing is, I did not save the bacon fat to cook the onion and garlic in. I used olive oil to make it healthier, and it tasted absolutely fine.

This is a good comfort food but I wouldn't recommend using all the reserved bacon grease and am not even convinced that's what the author had in mind. That's an awful lot of fat! Use common sense and do what you think you should do. For me, I use the bit of grease left in the pan after removing it and a drizzle of olive oil. I don't have tarragon vinegar, so use raspberry vinegar, which I like with this better than apple cider vinegar. I also like to add 3 or so TBS. of brown sugar and water so mine comes out more like a southern collard green recipe.

My kids would not eat this. I used Apple Cider Vinegar instead. Very sour. Greasy because of all that bacon grease.

Versatile and delicious. I skipped the vinegar and added tomatoes. Will definitely make again.

I grow my own cabbage and always get a LOT. Since my husband doesn't like overcooked cabbage, I'm always looking for something new, simple and yummy. This is perfect! The kids adore it.
