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

cooked potatoes, cabbage, and sliced kielbasa in a slow cooker.

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 is a great recipe, but just FYI you listed that you need a white onion in the description and then mention needing a yellow onion in the actual recipe portion.

        Try to keep the lid on, every time you open it, it loses heat and takes 45 mins to get back to temperature.

      Would I be able to add some white mushrooms in with this? Or would they turn to mush in the slow cooker for so long?

        You can add them, though I would cut them pretty thick.

          I put a liner in crockpot but 3 hours into cabbage was burning on the sides. Any suggestions, I took off lif and got burnt leaves out and stirred.

          Your slow cooker may cook hot. A few pieces may get toasty on the sides but it should not burn.

      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.

        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?

        January 20, 2022 at 8:54 am

        Yes! I think that would work good. I would add some salt and pepper to the chops and possibly some dried leaf time.
