Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pkgs Smoked Sausage 14 ounces each
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- 1 Yellow Onion chopped
- 1 ½ pounds Baby Potatoes cleaned and cut in half
- ½ Head Chopped Green Cabbage
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 cups Chicken Broth divided

Instructions
- Place the onions and baby potatoes into the bottom of a crock pot.
- Slice the cabbage into thin strips and then chop into 1 inch bite size pieces. Add it to the crock pot.

Notes
Browning the sausage is optional and this recipe can be made without these steps, but I found that it adds a ton of the flavor to the recipe and is worth the additional time needed.
I recommend using a crock pot that is at least 5 quarts or larger.
If the potatoes are large, quarter them as well so that they’re all approximately the same size and will cook around the same time.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
