JäGER KOHL (HUNTER'S CABBAGE)

Jäger Kohl (Hunter's Cabbage) image

I found this at Teri's Kitchen, a site about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. It's become a favorite in our family. Since we don't eat pork, we substitute beef ingredients for the sausage and bacon. However, the pork version is more authentic. It is very hearty and filling.
