    My Notes: 1. This can also be cooked in crockpot or slow cooker. However, I would not add as much water as recipe calls for, since slow cookers tend to accumulate moisture. 2. Potatoes can also be added to the meat, but I would remove vegetables that were added at the beginning, then add potatoes before the cabbage. 3. Other vegetables that can be added along with potatoes are turnips, rutabagas and carrots.
