Kielbasa and Cabbage
I am back with another slow cooker meal! Even though it’s not even Fall yet, I’ve been loving my slow cooker this Summer! It’s been a life safer to have a delicious dinner ready when time management isn’t on my side!
With a beautiful cabbage picked from the garden, I was contemplating what I should do with it. Recently we’ve been loving Slow Cooker Green Beans, so I decided to throw the cabbage to in the slow cooker too! Boom – this Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Cabbage dish was created!
Crockpot Cabbage
Besides cabbage, throw in potatoes and onions to your slow cooker, alongside some beef kielbasa. I’ve made this kielbasa and cabbage slow cooker recipe a few times in the last month and we love adding carrots in it too! The ingredients are incredibly simple, you might already have everything in your kitchen!

Add in chicken broth, salt, pepper, brown sugar and minced garlic! Then put the slow cooker lid on and cook on low for 6 hours. Now kick back and relax while your kitchen starts smelling so good!
And just like that a amazing slow cooker cabbage and sausage dinner will be ready for you and your family to enjoy! This dish is definitely inspired by all the Polish and Hungarian meals my Mom used to make as a kid!

I love serving this as a main dish over egg noodles or white rice, but you could also serve this as a holiday side dish too! And if you’re wondering, leftovers taste just as good the next day!

I use my slow cooker all year round! We love it. This meal looks great – simple and satisfying!
This is such a great fall meal! Perfect to have ready for me when I come home from work 🙂

Visiting from Make it Pretty Monday. Yum! I am pinning this one. Thanks for sharing.

I love cabbage-and-kielbasa. I’m going to try this recipe!
This looks easy and delicious for fall. My hubs love cabbage and of course kielbasa. Some sour cream on the side and he is in heaven. He is going to love this.
I make this often but never tried it in the slow cooker…will next time!
This looks amazing. Will cook this Thursday for dinner.
Why haven’t I ever made cabbage and kielbasa at home?! This looks so good, and super simple – thank you!
Having been raised in the south, cabbage was always a MUST for New Year’s Day. BUT I never really found a recipe I liked. This looks like a winner. Definitely going to give it a try this year. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
Love this! Thanks for sharing with us at the To Grandma’s house we go link party – I’ll be featuring you tomorrow morning when the new party starts!

I love cabbage but I am not a kielbasa fan. However, my dad is and I will be sharing this recipe.
Okay, so I made this last week and it was fabulous! Enjoying leftovers today. Thank you.

I made this in my crockpot today and it’s delicious!
I made this in my crockpot today and its delicious. I added a lot of canned green chile and all the liquid in the can. I love green chile!
Hey Barbara, I’m so happy you liked this recipe! The addition of green chiles sounds great! Thanks for commenting!
Do I need to season the cabbage as well?
Nope, no additional steps are required. Just follow the recipe directions. Enjoy!
How many servings is this recipe?? I have to feed 3 hungrey boys!
Hey Lori, it makes about 4 servings. If you have extra hungry boys make some egg noodles to serve it on or double the kielbasa! Enjoy!
Can I cook on high for less time?
Hey Nicole, I think cooking it on high for 4 hours work would out too. Enjoy!
Great sounding recipe will try it out this weekend. : )
Hey Fox, enjoy the recipe. PS. I Want To Believe!
good gravy, this is DELISH. it’s now a weekly addition to our dinner menu. 🙂
That makes me super happy to hear! Glad you enjoy this slow cooker meal, thanks for commenting!

I love cabbage, Kielbasa, potatoes and onions can’t wait to try it out!!!
Thanks so much for sharing Pamela 🙋
Enjoy Tammy, I hope you love it as much as we do!
I made this a week ago and my husband were in heaven over this. I am making it tomorrow because I have been craving it really bad. Me and my husband love cabbage and keiabosa and have to add more Me at this time but might try a different meat I have leftover pork roast that was marinated and didn’t have noodles last time so I need to either put it over mashed potatoes or bisquets. I am not sure yet what meat I am going to try but my husband want me to try the frozen meatballs so that is what I am going to try this time. Thanks for your recipe and I love cooking out of my crockpot all the time never really use a stove any more. Thanks again.
Hey Angie, I’m so happy to hear you liked this meal so much! If you’re in the meatball mood, might I also suggest my Slow Cooker Meatball Potato Casserole? It’s one of my favorites! https://brooklynfarmgirl.com/2017/10/08/slow-cooker-meatball-potato-casserole/ Enjoy and thanks for commenting!

Definitely needed some salt added. Next time instead of using apple sausage, I will use smoked sausage instead. Overall, not a bad recipe at all.
Hi, is it okay to use fresh (uncooked) kielbasa, or should I cook it first?
You can use it fresh, the 6 hours should be enough to cook it. Please just be sure to check that it’s completely cooked when time is up! Enjoy!
Thanks!
Love this combination – great comfort food!
Is there any way I could cook this on the stove in a large pot to double the serving size
I just made a similar recipe on the stove top last week and it was G-O-O-D! I need to break out my crockpot and use it more (to make my life easier, obviously!). Since the last recipe was such a hit with the family, I will try this one next. Thanks for sharing!
Can the leftovers be frozen?
[…] 1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK: Everything and anything that can be made in the crockpot. Its been chilly here in New England so we’ve made: Pork Tenderloin, Chili, and I tried this Slow Cooker Cabbage and Kielbasa recipe. […]
It’s two days until New Years, and it may be freezing, so I am going to make this dish for our main meal, and I can hardly wait.
How many people does this recipe serve? I am trying it for the first time and need to feed 5 adults. Thanks in advance, Happy New Year!
Sorry, I just saw it is for 4 servings in the thread…..with this all said, should I add just a bit more to the recipe and cook 8 hours on low? I could also put it on tonight as I am planning this as the main course for tomorrow:) Thank you so much for sharing!
Hello, I would add more kielbasa for 5 people – but stick with the same time as listed in the recipe – low, 6 hours. Enjoy!
Thank you so much; I will let you know how I do;)! Happy New Year!
It was delicious, thank you again!

I leave the potatoes out and make mashed potatoes instead. I also add caraway seeds.

I’ve been eating this since I was a little girl in Northern Michigan and I love it, I usually add more broth and it’s more of a soup or stew. I love it.
This is so good! Try it and it will become a favorite or yours.

This looks delicious. Can you use sauerkraut instead of cabbage?
I realize that the potatoes should be cooked separately and added after sauerkraut is cooked so they don’t turn black.
Hey Ron, I’ve never had any issues with the potatoes turning black. I cook everything together to make this recipe easy! Enjoy!

Simple and keto friendly meal. Thanks for sharing!
Made this today for our church fellowship meal. I just couldn’t figure out what was missing (adding more salt didn’t help). My hubby did a taste test and suggested I add some vinegar. I put in a little bit of apple cider vinegar and it made a world of difference. Gave it a German flair. Crockpot was empty at the end of the fellowship meal!
Has anyone tried this using the pressure cooking of the Instant Pot? The ingredients would appear to be compatible with Instant Pot. I’m curious as to time, amount of liquid, etc.
Very Good Recipe! This will be a staple crock pot meal for my family.
My husband liked it with sour cream on top and my son liked it with a little vinegar on his. I did it exactly as recommended… so yummy! Thanks for sharing.
Hey Tammie, thanks so much for commenting! I’m so happy your entire family liked this recipe!

It turned out to be a really great main course meal… There wasn’t any left over’s so that is a good sign….
Thanks for commenting Dean, that makes me happy to hear there were no leftovers! 🙂
i’m allergic to onions so do you have any other ideas to add instead?
Hey Lynne, I’d recommend just skipping the onions and adding some more cabbage. You could also add carrots if you’d like!
also i can’t eat garlic any ideas for substitutes?
