Slow Cooker German Red Cabbage
Slow Cooker German Red Cabbage
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.
