You can also braise this on your stove top but the ease of making this slow cooker german red cabbage makes this recipe really enjoyable! I took a short cut and microwaved the bacon so I didn't dirty a pan but if you do braise then use the same pan. I happened to have some bacon fat in my refrigerator so I add to the bottom of the slow cooker.
