  I’ve been wanting to make a slow cooker dish like this for a long time and I’m so glad that I finally got around to it. I looked on Pinterest to see if there were any similar recipes and didn’t find much.

 

  I had never cooked sausage or cabbage in the slow cooker before so I wasn’t sure how they would turn out. The cabbage did really well and held up to the long, slow cooking, however it’s little more limp than when I cook it in a skillet. The sausage did well too, but it does lose some of the flavor when you cook it all day. If you want more flavor then I would suggest browning the sausage in a saucepan then adding it in with the vegetables just before serving.

 

  I really love the tangy bite that this dish has as it goes well with the sausage and vegetables. It’s almost like a tangy German Potato Salad with a few extras to make it a whole meal. This recipe makes a lot so plan on having leftovers if you have a small family. Enjoy!

  1. Hi Missy, My mother used to make this dish in the oven. I'm not aware that she used vinegar or mustard, but just layered sliced potatoes, cabbage, the sausage, and added salt and pepper to taste. I'm not certain what temperature or for how long she cooked this dish. It was always very good. My question, what is the purpose of the vinegar? It doesn't make this dish sweet does it? I'm not a fan of sweet dishes. If you would take the time and reply via email, I would be most appreciative. I'm afraid after I hit the send button I might not find your recipe again. Thank you so much, Jeff

  10. I have made this over the years. Still look for inspiration. I learned today, layer is important, Cabbage on the bottom, then Onions, then Potatoes, fresh Garlic, Stock or Beer, then Bacon, and spices on top. I have used Spicy Italian sausage, Kielbasa, Ham, ham Bone, Smoked Turkey Drumstick, etc. The new thing today I will use Balsamic Vinegar, carrots, & homemade spicy Chicken stock, add a fresh Jalapeno chopped & seeded, top with spicy brown mustard. LaterI add the sausage or spiced meat, this is heavenly. My office gobbled it up while complaining about the smell! Funny! It was so good, and gone in 30 minutes! Just experiment, using the similar ingredients, as above.

    • Trudy, what recipe are you looking at (sounds interesting) I don't see fresh Garlic, Stock or Beer, then Bacon listed in the ingredients.

    • You do not need to cook the sausage. It's better though in my opinion if you leave the sausage out of the crockpot and then just saute it and mix it in just before serving. When you say Italian Sausage are you referring to ground sausage?

  15. This has become a family favorite & an absolute "go-to" dinner when I'm cutting a few calories before Thanksgiving & Christmas (to make room for dinner rolls & desserts.) I have used several types of sausage in this dish, but the Shiner Beer Brats really take it to the next level. Thank you for the fantastic recipe & blog gracefullittlehoneybee
