My best friend and I make this every year on New Year's Day, and it's so delicious! We always serve it with homemade cornbread, black eyed peas, Champagne, and ham. Happy New Year, everyone!

Step 2

Arrange cabbage over pork; cover with diced tomatoes. Add lid and reduce heat to medium. Cook, without stirring, until cabbage is wilted, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir and taste for seasoning.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute ground beef for the pork if desired. You can use the whole can of RO*TEL, if you like.

If you're not using Tony Cachere's(R) seasoning, more salt may be necessary.

This was really good! I've never made or had smothered cabbage before so I was up for something new tonight. This fit the bill! I used the full can of Rotel since a half can didn't seem like enough. I also cooked it an extra 10 mins since some pieces of cabbage weren't quite done yet. Perfectly seasoned with just a hint of heat. A great one pot meal for a busy night! Read More

I do keto and love trying new cabbage recipes. I used ground Italian sausage. I also tossed in a couple of handfuls of fresh mushrooms and used the whole can of rotel. I sautéed the chopped onion and bell pepper in my instant pot. I did everything the same except after tossing the tomato’s over the cabbage, I gave it a good stir and pressure cooked it for 2 minutes and done a quick release. It is very good! Will make again.

Yum! I love pork and cabbage but this arrangement was new for me. I did make some minor modifications - I used the whole can of tomato and pepper doubled the Creole seasoning and added two chopped apples to complement the spiciness of the seasoning increase. Yum! Read More

Comforting on a cool evening. This was easy and quick to put together on a weeknight after a full day of work. As suggested by some I did use a full can of Rotel and it really needed it in my opinion. I used 1# of ground sirloin and half a package of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage for the meat. Two other family members gave a thumb's up. Not too high on calories or carbs either. Read More

Delicious! Made it with the ingredients listed (couldn't find straight ground pork so I used country pork which was like sausage) but also added 3 chopped strips of bacon. Between the pork bacon and creole a tad salty but not a reason to knock the recipe. Will make again. Read More

Loved it! I like a little more heat so I used diced tomatoes with hahabaneros. Other than that, wouldn’t change a thing! Read More
