Braising anything in beer makes it better. Add bacon into the mix and you’ve got a winning cabbage dish.

• 1/4 lb bacon, bulk unsliced (cut into 1/2 in cubes)
• 1 medium (2 lbs) green cabbage, quartered, cored and thinly sliced

• 1 cup apple, cored and diced small
• 1 cup yellow onion, diced small

• 12 oz Light Beer
• sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

• 1/4 lb bacon, bulk unsliced (cut into 1/2 in cubes)
• 1 medium (2 lbs) green cabbage, quartered, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 cup apple, cored and diced small

• 1 cup yellow onion, diced small
• 12 oz Light Beer
• sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 325 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

On a stovetop, heat a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp (about 5 mins). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

Return the pot to medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the apple, stir, then add the cabbage. Sprinkle generously with salt and a touch of black pepper and stir for 3 minutes.

Pour in the beer and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and move the pot immediately into the Traeger.

Cook at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook for an additional 10-15 more minutes, or until cabbage is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Add the reserved bacon and stir into the cabbage. Enjoy!
