Crockpot Cabbage and Potatoes

You could add all three of these main ingredients or two. We will tell you that everything listed below is good. Onions are optional as well but we tend to add those and garlic to about everything. They are the cheapest way to add a ton of flavor to any meal.

We think we fell in love with this green veggie when we made Instant Pot fried cabbage a few years back. It was so good that we often make it year round. This time since red potatoes were added, it was better to cook everything low and slow so everything cooked evenly.

Let's talk a little bit about slow cooking shall we?? First off we have a few different varieties and we love them all. Each one has an occasion to be used like….

This is our favorite 6 quart programmable one with a locking lid so it's great for bringing to a potluck too.
We prefer not to use liners, but rather spray olive oil inside before adding our food for easier cleanups.

Let us give you a peek of our pretty thang we bought recently. It goes with our kitchen so we can leave it out on the countertop all the time.

A floral design slow cooker with a white base and lid sits on a kitchen countertop, solid for whipping up a 5 ingredient crockpot chili recipe.

Ingredient notes

Potatoes is one of the main ingredients of course, we say leave the skin on for added texture and flavor and typically choose russets but red would work as well. We think Yukon Gold is too soft and falls apart too easily.

Sliced precooked sausage link is the best meat to add if you want that in there too. We typically will choose a type of Kielbasa sliced into bite size dials as you see here. It comes in spicy Andouille style, sweet, Italian style etc….

You can add a sliced Onion for a cheap way to add even more flavor and texture. We like white or yellow sliced pretty thick so they don't fall apart in the cooking process.

You will use about half a head of cabbage chopped into large(ish) pieces. Remember that they will shrink as they get more tender so cut a bit larger than you think you would want them to end up.

We are going to need some sort of liquid to steam everything Chicken broth is the best option because it adds flavor so you don't need other seasonings other than maybe a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

And to add a bit of creaminess, throw some salted Butter pats in there. You could use a dairy free plant based alternative if you'd rather.

Swaps

There are a few other items you could include into this Haluski recipe (aka). If you wanted to make a kielbasa cabbage, carrots potatoes dish you totally could. peel and slice your pieces into large bite size chunks.

How Long to Cook Slow Cooker Sausage with Cabbage

You need 4-6 hours for this one. We swear buttered cabbage goes with all the things. It soaks up all the other flavors in the pot and takes on the deliciousness in no time. Remember that the items that take the least amount of time should be put on the top. It will get less heat and break down the least, especially when it isn't in contact with the liquid below.

Air Fryer Directions

Now we did also make air fryer sausage and potatoes once to give that a whirl. We used sliced deer links that were made locally and out of this world. That method gives the edges of everything a nice crispiness which is out of this world. It kinda' caramelizes the meat too in a way.

Doesn't take too long that way especially since the pork is already cooked. You always want to remember that any way you cook this the taters will take the longest. The rest you're heating up and softening the pieces.

Tips

When it is as tender as you'd like gently fold everything together, taste, re season if necessary and serve. It is a one pot meal with everything you need, no side dishes necessary.

You could totally add a different pre-cooked meat to this too. If you had leftover pot roast you could dice that up and use that instead. We hate throwing away last night's meal so if we can make a second Crock pot recipe with it it's like a 2 for 1 deal.

Slow cooker recipes are the bomb, especially during the Winter time when it is snowing outside and you want to do nothing around dinnertime. What are your favorite recipes you love during this time of year. Now what do you do if you don't eat all of this. Once again, don't throw it away y'all.

If you don't have a low and slow cooking machine, you could use these same ingredients in a large stock pot on your stovetop too. Covered with a lid on low heat, you'd simmer for about 30 minutes stirring frequently. This takes more of your attention and the vegetables will break down more since you're folding and rotating more often.

Best way to save leftovers

Allow it to cool completely first. This is important because if you don't, it can grow bacteria easier. We like using pint size freezer bags personally because we don't have to wash them out. seal, store in the fridge for up to 3 days and then transfer to a microwave safe dish to reheat.

Haluski Crockpot

It should only take about 1 minute stirring halfway thru to get warm again. You could throw it into your Ninja Foodi too at 400 for about 4 minutes to get it a bit crispy too. If you want to take it up a notch, sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top and let that melt at the end. That is a great add in when serving the initial meal too.

If you have some of your Traeger corned beef left over, these two dishes can be heated together for lunch the next day!

For another hearty meal, you'll love our old fashioned cabbage soup too.
