Slow Cooker Cabbage, Potatoes, and Smoked Sausage


Tips for Success

  • Sausage Variety : Use kielbasa for a classic Polish-inspired dish or andouille for a Cajun twist. Any smoked sausage will work!
  • Vegetable Additions : Toss in carrots, parsnips, or celery for added color and nutrition.
  • Liquid Adjustments : If the mixture seems dry after cooking, add a splash more broth or water before serving.
  • Make It Vegetarian : Omit the sausage and substitute with mushrooms or tempeh for a plant-based version. Add a bouillon cube to the broth for depth.
