    I didn't have any red bell pepper, so I used orange instead. It worked perfectly!

  • Weldon Howe

    This recipe is so easy and delicious! My family loves it, even the kids who usually turn their noses up at cabbage.

  • Chasity Gutkowski

    The Cajun seasoning gives it a nice kick. I used a little less because I'm sensitive to spice, but it was still very flavorful.

  • Lila Howe

    I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. Thanks for sharing!

  • Anabel Torphy

    I added some kielbasa sausage and it turned out amazing! A complete meal in one pan.

  • Jaime Macejkovic

    This is a great base recipe. I added some carrots and celery for extra nutrients and flavor.

  • Benedict Hettinger

    The cabbage was a bit too soft for my taste, so next time I'll reduce the simmering time by a few minutes.
