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.

    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.
