To save some money on beef we've been buying these big ass briskets which we cut up and cook in the crockpot. It's been pretty good. I'll also get a whole frozen chicken and crockpot that with vegetables and water. Make a soup with liquids and dark meat then cut up the breast for chicken salad.
I think we'll have to try that cabbage stew. How much wine do you use for that Taernath?
