Ingredients
12 ounces sausages (such as kielbasa or smoked sausage), sliced
5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
5 cups of cabbage, chopped
1.5 cups of chicken broth
1 white onion, sliced
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Brown the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage slices until they’re slightly crispy. This step adds depth to the flavor.
Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: In your slow cooker, layer the browned sausage, chopped potatoes, cabbage, and sliced onion.
Season: Sprinkle the layers with salt, pepper, and dried thyme for seasoning. These spices will infuse the dish with a warm, aromatic flavor.
Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the layered ingredients. The broth not only adds moisture but also helps in cooking the potatoes and cabbage to perfection.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours. The long cooking time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, and the potatoes to become tender and absorb the savory broth.
Notes
Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
Bread on the Side: Enjoy with a slice of crusty bread or a roll to soak up the delicious broth.
Add a Crunch: For a bit of crunch, serve with a side of coleslaw or a fresh green salad.
