I’ve been seeing so many recipes with cabbage in them with them because of the low carb craze that is going on. I added potatoes since I am not low carb so if you want to carbo load this recipe is for you!
This recipe turned out far better than I expected. The flavors completely meld together for a perfectly flavored meal. To make this recipe somewhat healthy I found a no nitrate kielbasa. I will be making this recipe again! I think it would be a great recipe for a potluck.
How to make this:
You will need these ingredients:
- Kielbasa sausage
- Russet potatoes
- Cabbage
- White onion
- Salt and pepper
- Dried thyme
- Chicken broth
That’s all you need for this simple meal. I love that it’s mostly fresh ingredients.
How long to cook:
This recipe needs enough time to let the potatoes soften. I cook this recipe for 6 hours on low.
This to me is a complete meal. You have your veggies, potatoes and meat in one pot! Just scoop into serving bowls when you arrive home.
I don’t cook much with cabbage but that is about to change. This meal was heavenly and wouldn’t be the same without the cabbage.
We loved this meal! Such a change from a shredded meat slow cooker recipe. The entire meal is flavored from the kielbasa and the potatoes and cabbage are very tender. I think you’ll love it! Have a great week.

My husband and I have been loving this one! We do find it personally to be a little bit bland as written, but that’s easily remedied. We add more salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and paprika, and that easily takes care of that. I adapted it to make it in the instant pot, and add celery and carrots if I have them around, and it’s super good and fast with minimal cleanup. Thank you!
Can some chickpeas or some other kind of bean be added to increase the protein? Or, is there something (other than another meat), that could be added?
I would think beans would be the only option! Maybe instead of chickpeas, some white cannellini beans?
This was delious. I enjoyed it with some garlic bread and wine. The dish was very filling. One point I might add to someone that said the potatoes did not get done. I put them near the bottom with the broth, so they cooked faster. After a few hours I stired the mixture frequently. Hope this helps someone.
