Slow Cooker Potatoes Cabbage and Kielbasa is a one-pot meal full of great flavor!
Other recipes we love with Kielbasa are Slow Cooker Pierogies and Kielbasa Potato Soup.
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.

I fixed this for a Christmas get together and it was the only crockpot that was empty at the end of the evening. Everyone loved it and definitely will make it again
I love cabbage. I like kielbasa and onions. I hated this recipe. Sauteed on the stove might have been better, but I wasted a lot of good ingredients on this mess.
I agree. Tasteless and bland.
To keep this low carb, I wonder how it would be if I substitute radishes for the potatoes.
This was amazing. The cabbage was not overpowering and the flavor was top notch. I found the recipe too late to use the crock pot so I put it in a covered casserole at 350 degrees for 2 hours. Perfect. I will definately make this again. A go to recipe for those who like cabbage.
This a delicious. I doubled the kielbasa and added sauerkraut. We all loved it!!!! Great leftover as well.
I can’t wait to try the recipes.
I also make this with sauerkraut sometimes. It’s good in a cast iron skillet too. One of our favorites. Serve with some sour cream for a German touch.
Great recipe
Tasty stuff!
Made this yesterday to go with my corned beef. Fabulous. Easy.
Everyone loved it. Will make again and again. O, I only used salt and pepper.
