Love a good “dump and go” meal 🙌🥬
Here’s an easy, hearty slow cooker cabbage dinner you can throw together in minutes.
🥬 Slow Cooker Cabbage & Sausage (Dump Recipe)
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
- 1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (optional but adds flavor)
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
🔪 Instructions
1️⃣ Dump everything into the slow cooker.
2️⃣ Stir gently to combine.
3️⃣ Cook on:
- LOW for 6–7 hours
or - HIGH for 3–4 hours
4️⃣ Stir before serving.
That’s it.
🍽 Optional Add-Ins
- 2–3 diced potatoes (make it heartier)
- 1 cup carrots
- Red pepper flakes for heat
- ½ tsp caraway seeds for classic cabbage flavor
🥩 Protein Swaps
- Ground beef (brown first for best flavor)
- Chicken thighs
- Ham chunks
🧄 Flavor Boost Tip
For richer flavor, brown the sausage in a skillet before adding — but it’s optional if you truly want “dump and go.”
If you tell me what protein you have (ground beef? chicken? just cabbage?), I can tailor it exactly to your ingredients.
