    This Pork and Cabbage Stew is something I actually posted a few years ago, but I haven't made sense so I'm considering this a recipe redo.

    I've only made a few small changes to the original recipe. I increased the amount of pork. I added some chopped celery.

    I decreased the amount of cabbage I used (with the increase of meat, I didn't have room for all the cabbage), and I changed out the type of oil I used to brown the meat.

    I also modified the technique of putting it all together to make it a tad faster and easier...Other than that it's basically still the same, and the taste is just good, if not better than I remember!

        I'm so sorry that I forgot to add the word "cups" to the apple juice measurement. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Sharyn!

      Smothered pork with cabbage is a family favorite at our house so I know your version with added potatoes would be a big hit. Great recipe, Reneé!

      I seem to gravitate to chicken or beef when using my crock pot, but you've convinced me to go to pork next! What a hearty, delicious stew!
