Slow Cooker Sausage and Cabbage

I love this crock pot recipe because of how easy it is to make. There’s minimal prep time, besides chopping up vegetables, and then you’re ready to go. Just throw everything into your crockpot, set the timer for 6 hours and get ready for your kitchen to smell amazing!

You guys have been telling me that I need to share more of my slow cooker recipes, since you’ve enjoyed my Cabbage and Kielbasa and Cabbage Roll Casserole. So here I am – now it’s time to share Slow Cooker Sausage and Cabbage!

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Sausage

You might already have everything in your kitchen which is going to make this meal even easier! Here’s what you need:

  • cabbage, chopped
  • potatoes, chopped
  • carrots, chopped
  • onion, chopped
  • minced garlic
  • Sweet Italian Sausage
  • chicken broth
  • salt, pepper, and brown sugar

How to Make this Easy Cabbage Recipe

Add chopped cabbage to the bottom of the slow cooker.

Add in potatoes, carrots, onions and minced garlic. Peeling the potatoes is completely optional and up to you!

chopped vegetables in slow cooker.

Add in the Sweet Italian Sausage. I buy links and chop them up into 2 inch pieces.

Finally add in chicken broth, salt, pepper and brown sugar. Don’t skip the brown sugar, it balances out the cabbage taste nicely.

Now close the lid and cook on LOW. You don’t need to do anything else!  6 hours later…. YUM YUM YUM! Dinner is served!

How to Serve Sausage and Cabbage

You can serve this as is, as now you have a full meal of meat and vegetables! But you can also serve it on top of egg noodles (our usual preference) or rice, and with cornbread on the side.

This is the perfect meal for busy Fall weeknights when school is going on and you have a million other things to take care of. I love knowing there’s a complete meal waiting for us in the kitchen!

I hope you enjoy this easy crockpot recipe soon!

    Sounds great, I will make it today, I have everything to create this dish. Plan to leave out the brown sugar, not a fan of sugar; the rest is perfect!
    I will use red Potatoes, as that is what I have and I always leave the peels on because that is where the vitamins are. I have some spicy sausage in the freezer, will thaw while I get all the veggies chopped up. I speed thaw leave the sausage in package and put in a bowl with cold water. I plan to cook on High one hour, then lower it to Low for 3-5 hours. Depends on how it smells, and my taste test too. I might add some Sweet Peppers to it as well; maybe a Bay leaf.
    Why four stars, because I haven’t cooked it yet!

    Not sure. All the ingredients together will make for a delicious recipe but I had trouble cutting up the cabbage. The cabbage kept falling apart in leaves but I tried to hold them together. And can this be made on high for 4 hours.?

    Never tried this with Italian sausage. Usually made this with ribs. Also good. Love it!

    Very good indeed. It would be a great help, however, if you mentioned the size of the slow cooker you’re using so we can scale our dish accordingly. That’s vital information!

    This has become one of my family’s favorites! I keep increasing the recipe because they destroy the whole crock pot every time! We use hot Italian sausage, & it comes out so perfectly. Pair it with a little honey corn bread, & I’m done. Bravo! Such a good dinner!

    This isn’t my first recipe that I have gotten on line, but it is the first I’ve ever commented on. The recipe looks great, but simple and I will definitely let y’all know how my family likes it. Take care and thank you for your recipe!

      Well, as I said earlier, my family loves the dish!
      My husband had a bit of cheese and some hot sauce added to it, (he LOVES cheese and hot sauce!). Thanks again 👍

    I tried a cabbage recipe from another site which was very unpleasant not only to serve but to eat so l did what l could to not throw out and waste food.
    As l had lots of cabbage and Italian sausages, l search for a new cabbage recipe.
    When l saw the picture of this recipe it was exactly what l was wanting to make.
    As I’m not into sweet omitted the brown sugar and the taste was what l expected great flavor of the garlic and juices of the Italian sausage and herb d’provence.
    I spooned a little brown sugar into one bowl to sample what the taste difference was and l wish l added the brown sugar while cooking as the brown sugar just added a whole new level of flavor that was amazing without losing the taste of the other spices.
    I definitely will make this to share with friends!

    It’s in the slow cooker as I write. Thanks to all the nice comments, it made me want to try this. Had no Italian sausage so I used weisswurst which is one of my very favourite German sausages. Can’t wait for dinner, I love one pot meals. Looks great (I added half a red pepper too for more color).

    I got a huge bag of sausage from a food pantry during this pandemic. There are atleast 50 sausages linked together! I was searching for what to do with them. We usually don’t eat sausage. But I wanted to try to use them since meat is getting scarce during the pandemic. I had everything this recipe calls for at home. Mainly thanks to Misfits Market organic produce delivery.. I was so sceptical on how this would taste. I have say it’s five thumbs up! So tasty and we found our sausage was slightly spicy. So now I hope to find many more ways to use up 46 more sausages.
