    Excellent recipe. The ginger snaps are a great ingredient and it is interesting how just a bit of that thickens the sauce. Love it. Just made it again and used cube steak, I did brown a bit first but would not need to do that-I put in crock pot all day and added cabbage half way through. Terrific. - 12/29/15

    I used pork rather than beef (it's what we had on hand). The meat and sauce tasted great, but the cabbage was very blah and one whole head is far too much. I'll cook it separately sweet-and-sour next time. I'll definitely make this again, though. - 1/1/10
