This was AWESOME with my changes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used 3/4 a bottle of dark beer and I braised it for 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. It came out fabu. Oh, I also used... applewood smoked bacon. DO not waste your time using cheap old bacon. Go all out.Read more

Started out w/ high hopes
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The beer is way out of proportion. One whole bottle is enough to make this a soupy mess. After draining half of it off, it... turned out OK, not great.Read more

Delicious and easy to make. Didn't please my non-cabbage eating teenage son but my husband and I loved it!

Not good!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I've fixed a lot of Emeril's recipes and this one was a dud. The amount of red pepper it called for made it way too hot and... the color of the cabbage was a drab brown (probably because of the beer). I pitched the rest of it.Read more

Tasty.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not a huge cabbage fan, but this recipe was delicious. I didn't have bay leaves or bacon, but used a little Italian... seasoning and chicken stock. I like the way the beer gave the cabbage more depth. I will definitely make it again using bacon and bay leaves.Read more
