It's a TIE!!!

Here's the deal, I absolutely loooooved the baked cabbage. It was so delicious I could have eaten the entire head if cabbage wasn't on my 'do not eat' list. I think the concentrated liquid made it super tasty. However, we both preferred the softer, more tender crock-potted beef. The baked beef was good, but we both remembered the stewed version being better. So there you go. Next year we'll crockpot the meat, bake the cabbage and continue to roast the potatoes.
