There’s something deeply satisfying about a warm, home-cooked meal that practically makes itself while you go about your day. This Slow Cooker Cabbage and Smoked Sausage recipe is exactly that — a simple, hearty dish that combines tender cabbage, smoky sausage, and rich broth into a comforting meal perfect for chilly evenings or any time you want a nourishing, fuss-free dinner.
The best part? Just set it in your slow cooker and forget it. The flavors meld beautifully over several hours, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned slow-cookers alike.
Ingredients:
-
1 small head of cabbage, cut into wedges — fresh and slightly sweet, it pairs perfectly with sausage.
-
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced — kielbasa, andouille, or classic smoked links all work wonderfully.
-
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes — adds a subtle tang and balances the richness.
-
4 cups chicken broth — gently cooks everything while infusing deep flavor.
How to Make It:
-
Layer the Cabbage
Place the cabbage wedges evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker — this forms a tender, flavorful base. -
Add the Sausage
Spread the sliced smoked sausage over the cabbage. As it cooks, the sausage will release smoky juices that soak into the veggies. -
Pour the Tomatoes
Add the diced tomatoes on top, bringing moisture and a hint of brightness. -
Add the Broth
Pour in the chicken broth until ingredients are mostly submerged, creating the perfect slow-cooking environment. -
Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours (or on high for 3–4 hours if short on time). The dish is ready when the cabbage is tender and the sausage is heated through, infused with savory tomato broth.
