I didn't want to stew cabbage again so I was looking for something different. It had a great flavor and a little spice. I didn't have the celery seed so I did without, and I substituted a bag of carrots, broccoli and cauliflower for the carrots and it was excellent! I will make this again.

Absolutely delicious! It is a new favorite in our house. I have made it twice, the first time as directed, but it only took half the time to cook. The second time, I started it out on the stove and instead of bacon, I used holiday kielbasa. Then, when the cabbage was softened, I put it in the crock pot. I added carrots at the same time, too. So good!!! Love it!

Good, but spicy! Next time, I'll cut way back on the cayenne!
