Slow Cooker Cabbage, Sausage, and Potatoes

The Recipe

Uncle’s 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Feast

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 4-6 hours | Servings: 6

What You’ll Need:

• 1 lb Smoked Sausage or Kielbasa, sliced into rounds

• 1 medium head of Green Cabbage, chopped into large chunks

• 1.5 lbs Yellow or Red Potatoes, cubed (peeled or unpeeled)

• 1 cup Chicken Broth

Instructions:

1. Layer the Base: Place your chopped cabbage into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. It will look like a lot, but don’t worry—it shrinks significantly as it cooks!

2. Add the Heart: Layer your cubed potatoes over the cabbage, followed by the sliced sausage on top.

3. Pour and Season: Pour the chicken broth over everything. While the “4 ingredients” cover the base, feel free to sprinkle a little salt and a generous amount of cracked black pepper over the top.

4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High for 3-4 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the potatoes are fork-tender and the cabbage is translucent.

5. Toss and Serve: Give everything a gentle toss before serving to ensure the juices from the sausage coat the vegetables.

While the 4-ingredient version is a masterpiece of minimalism, this recipe is also a great “canvas” for whatever is in your pantry.

• The Spice Kick: Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a tablespoon of Cajun seasoning if you like things spicy.

• The Tangy Twist: A splash of apple cider vinegar or a dollop of Dijon mustard added right before serving cuts through the richness of the sausage perfectly.

• Leftovers: This recipe keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to 4 days. In fact, many people argue it’s even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld.

Serving Suggestion: Serve this in deep bowls with a side of crusty buttered bread or a bit of spicy mustard on the side for dipping the sausage. Enjoy your cozy night in!
