Slow Cooker Smoked Sausage and Cabbage

I had a reader comment about a recipe they wanted to figure out how to make in the slow cooker. He said, “When you mentioned foil packets, it rang a bell. One of my favorites is small red potatoes halved, sliced onions, sliced sausage and cabbage, dotted with butter and salt and pepper, bake at 425 for 35 min wrapped in foil.”

I immediately knew I would like this dish. I figured I could make it in the slow cooker. The texture would be different than a foil packet meal baked in the oven but the flavors would still be great and the ease and quickness of the recipe would make it desirable to have often.

So I threw some broth into the bottom of the slow cooker and then piled in the rest of ingredients. This was a winner in my book! Next time I will add in some sliced carrots to give it a bit more color, and perhaps play around with the seasonings. I kept it super simple with just the smoked sausage and salt and pepper to season the whole dish. If you want to get a little spicy try a smoked Cajun andouille sausage.

    Delicious! I just made this for dinner and it tastes sooo good. I doubled the recipe, added a bag of frozen corn and for the potatoes I used the tiny ” Baby Dutch yellow” ones. I just threw them in whole. It worked beautifully! It added a buttery taste that paired great with the cabbage. I also added carrots like a few other posters.
    Thanks so much for the recipe. It’s definitely a keeper.

    This was great as originally written. I hate flavor of caraway so wouldn’t think of adding it. I can see myself adding something like mushrooms or an apple, because I think I’ll be making this often! Ty for sharing it!

    I am wanting to do this as an appetizer with sausage and cabbage (maybe onions) and was wondering if you’ve tried sauerkraut in place of cabbage. Either way, I’m sure it will be a hit. Thanks!

    I have fixed your recipe twice now.
    My 90 year young mom loves it and asked me to fix it again. I do also add baby carrots in ours.
    Thank you!!

    Hi How about browning the sausage before tossing in the crock pot and could I add cajun seasoning to this and if so how much, dont want it to spicy just for a little spice flavor

      Browning it is a good idea and cajun seasoning would be great. I would add a half teaspoon to start. You can always add more later if needs be.

    I have already prepped cabbage, onion, and smoked Andouille sausage, and I planned use half of a leftover red bell pepper and a whole orange bell pepper. I still have several red potatoes to halve. But now I’m wondering if I should replace the peppers with sliced carrot instead. This will be a slow cooker meal. Thoughts?

      The peppers might get a little mushy but either would be tasty!

      I bet you could. The cabbage might be a little weird in texture though.

    How !ugh sour cream and caraway seed would you ad? Can you double this and if so how long should you cook it?

    Reply
    • Karen says

      February 24, 2020 at 8:59 pm

      Yes you can double it and the time will remain the same 🙂
      I’d start out with just 1 tsp of caraway and you can always add more if you need to.
