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.

Too bland for my family’s liking.
Julianne says
Smelled so good and was easy to throw together, but sadly the potatoes weren’t cooked through despite following the directions 🙁 I cooked it for an extra hour and the potatoes were still not fully soft. So disappointing!
Lori says
I will be making this recipe in a week or two! I will be making just a couple of changes: maybe put in two Kielbasa’s sometimes, add carrots & parsnips & instead of russet potatoes, I will use yellow gold (we can yelllow gold potatoes).
Somewhere down the road I would like to try one of the other comments: tomato sauce & diced tomatoes – I bet that would taste delicious.
Janie says
I made this last night, the only changes I made was making it on the stove instead of the slow cooker, and I used the entire head of (a small) cabbage. It was awesome!
Andrew says
Fortunately, where I live, fresh kielbasa is readily available so I plan to use that. I have made a similar recipe but I didn’t use chicken broth, I used some tomato paste and a little white wine. I will try your recipe soon! Looks appetizing.
Sarah says
Would love to try this! Do you think I could use tomato sauce and diced tomatoes instead of the chicken broth to give it a more traditional, Italian taste and appearance? Thank you!
Sarah Olson says
That sounds like a great idea!!
Helen says
When I made this recipe, I served sour cream with it – oh, so good.

This was so good! I never freeze meals but I want to save this. Can it be put in the freezer and reheated later?
Sarah Olson says
Yes, that will work well.
