Drunken Cabbage

Ok, we hear ya. CABBAGE!?!?!? YUK! But hear us out. This recipe is quite versatile. It’s good hot or cold, and with multiple meats – suggested ones are chicken and pork. One of the best things about it, though, is that it’s got less calories because beer replaces oil in the recipe. AND it has BACON in it! Come on – how bad could it be with BACON? Ok, we’re gonna let you TELL us how bad it is (or not!). Give it a try. And then tell us if you think it really is YUK!
