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.

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 loved making this I added carrots too

Love that idea Rosa!
Could I freeze this meal?
I bet you could. The cabbage might be a little weird in texture though.
I like it and it was so good and I will will cook it again.
Hooray! Thanks for sharing Bobby!
How !ugh sour cream and caraway seed would you ad? Can you double this and if so how long should you cook it?
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.
I love this dish!!!!!!! I added some caraway seed and sour cream and my husband loved it! I love your blog and always look forward to your posts.
Sounds so great with the sour cream and caraway!
