Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6-8 hours on low / 3-4 hours on high
Ingredients:
1 small head of cabbage, cut into wedges
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by cutting the cabbage into uniform wedges to ensure even cooking. Place the cabbage wedges at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add the Smoked Sausage
Slice the smoked sausage into rounds and layer it over the cabbage. As the stew cooks, the sausage will release its rich, smoky flavor, infusing the entire dish.
Top with Tomatoes
Pour the can of diced tomatoes over the sausage and cabbage. The tomatoes add a touch of acidity, which helps balance the stew’s richness.
Add the Broth
Pour in the chicken broth, making sure the ingredients are mostly covered. The broth will serve as the base, transforming into a savory soup as it cooks.
Cook
Cover the slow cooker and cook on:
Low: 6-8 hours
High: 3-4 hours
Cooking on low allows the flavors to meld together more deeply, but cooking on high is a great option if you’re short on time.
Stir and Serve
Before serving, gently stir the stew to combine all the flavors. Ladle into bowls and enjoy the comforting aroma and taste.
