Slow Cooker Sausage and Cabbage is a easy crock pot recipe ready in 6 hours! Add Sweet Italian Sausage links and vegetables (potatoes, cabbage, carrots and onion!) into your slow cooker for a delicious comfort meal!

It’s Fall! It’s really fall! The leaves are changing, I need to wear a jacket in the morning, I prefer my coffee hot now.   What else does Fall mean?  Time to bring out the crockpot for my family’s favorite crock pot recipes!

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!

Slow Cooker Sausage and Cabbage

I love this crock pot recipe because of the ingredients and the directions.  

The ingredients are basic, you might have everything in your kitchen already!  The stars of the show are Sweet Italian Sausage, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and a onion.    Close your eyes.   Imagine the smell of your kitchen while this cooks.  It’s going to smell SO GOOD!  

Whenever I make this cabbage recipe, my husband can smell it in our hallway as soon as he steps off the elevator.  He gets a little strut in his step because he knows it’s going to be a good dinner.

Easy Cabbage Recipe

This crock pot meal is hands down one of my favorite cabbage recipes!  Cabbage in my opinion is a underrated vegetable,  I try to cook with it a few times a month due to it’s value, both in price and in nutrition. 

This recipe calls for 2 pounds of Sweet Italian Sausage.  I buy the links and then cut them up into 2 inch pieces.

Alternatively, you could use ground sausage if you’d like to, but the dinner will be more of a casserole when finished, since you won’t have bite sized pieces of sausage.  

Add all your cabbage to the slow cooker on the bottom.

Next, add in your diced potatoes.

Now add in your diced carrots.  Carrots are currently my daughter’s favorite – can you believe that?

Add in your onion…. which is always one of my husband’s favorite ingredients!

One more layer… add in your Sweet Italian Sausage.

You’ll want to add chicken broth, salt, pepper, brown sugar and garlic into the slow cooker.  This is going to make everything taste real good.

I sprinkle this on top so it covers all the pieces of sausage and the vegetables.

Now close the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours.  You don’t need to do anything else!  

No seriously, you don’t need to do anything.  Just let it cook, the crock pot does all the work!  Depending on how you want to serve this meal, you can make egg noodles or rice when there is a few minutes remaining.   Sometimes we will make egg noodles, but sometimes we will just eat this with nothing else – it’s really up to you!

6 hours later…. YUM YUM YUM! Dinner is served!

Don’t you love that you have a full meal of meat and vegetables ready to serve to your family and it was so easy to make?   This is the perfect meal for busy Fall weeknights, or even a Sunday when you have a million other things to do!

When I plate this meal, I always like to serve the vegetables on bottom and then put the sausage pieces on top.  If you’re going to additonally make egg noodles, you can place them on the very bottom.

I love that each bite of the sausage has a taste of the brown sugar and garlic – it’s the perfect combo!

I also love that the vegetables are perfectly cooked.  Your fork will easily slide through them, without them being too mushy or too hard. They’re perfect!  Slow Cooker Sausage and Cabbage is a easy crock pot recipe ready in 6 hours!

    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.
