Slow Cooker Potatoes Cabbage and Kielbasa is a one-pot meal full of great flavor!
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.

This was delicious. Must brown sausage before adding to crockpot it just adds so much smoky flavor. I served it as a side but I could eat it as a full meal, just added a lil hot sauce. Yummmmm. Thank you for sharing.
Can I substitute beer for some or all of the broth?
Yes, you can use all beer for the broth if it’s a light beer, if dark, I would do less.
Can I cook this on high for half the time ?
You may need more like 4 hours to get the potatoes to tenderize.
I’ve made this lots of times and we love it! Tasty and Easy! Do you think I could use boneless pork chops instead of the kielbasa? If so, what seasonings would you add?
Yes! I think that would work good. I would add some salt and pepper to the chops and possibly some dried leaf time.
So good! Made it twice in the last two weeks. Like to double the sausage and cabbage
