Cozy Slow Cooker Cabbage & Smoked Sausage Stew – A Hearty, No-Fuss Classic

If you’re dreaming of a comforting dinner that practically makes itself, this Cozy Slow Cooker Cabbage & Smoked Sausage Stew is calling your name. 🥣 It’s the kind of meal that fills your home with amazing aromas and brings everyone to the table, hungry and happy. Let’s dive into this easy, satisfying recipe!

A simple, warming stew that’s big on flavor — perfect for busy nights or chilly days.

Equipment You’ll Need:

• Slow cooker
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Measuring cups
• Large spoon for serving

Ingredients:

• 1 small head of cabbage, chopped into wedges
• 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)

Instructions:

1.  Layer It Up: Place the cabbage wedges at the bottom of your slow cooker. Scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the cabbage. Pour the diced tomatoes (with their juices) evenly over the top. Carefully pour in the chicken broth until the ingredients are just covered.
2.  Let It Simmer: Cover with the lid. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
3. Serve & Enjoy: Give the stew a gentle stir before serving. Dish it up warm, maybe with a slice of crusty bread or cornbread on the side for extra comfort!

Extra Tips & Variations:

• Make it vegetarian: Swap the sausage for plant-based sausage or drained white beans.
• Add spice: A pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce kicks up the heat.
• Mix up the sausage: Try kielbasa, turkey sausage, or andouille for a different twist.
• Add more veggies: Toss in diced potatoes or carrots for a heartier stew.
