Ingredients

  • 1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with olive oil.
  2. Place chopped cabbage at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Layer potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic on top of the cabbage.
  4. Add sliced sausage evenly over the vegetables.
  5. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and paprika over the mixture.
  6. Pour chicken broth over everything to keep it moist during cooking.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until vegetables are tender.
  8. Gently stir before serving to evenly distribute the juices.

Notes

  • Brown the sausage beforehand for extra flavor if desired.
  • Use spicy sausage for added heat or turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • Add a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end for brightness.
  • For a lower-carb version, skip the potatoes and add extra cabbage or cauliflower.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of broth if needed to maintain moisture.
