Polish Crockpot Stew with Kielbasa and Cabbage
We got this recipe from our good buddy (and Bobby’s neighbor) Michael Peay. He remembers his mom always used to make more than he and his brothers ever could eat because their house was so popular with their friends, especially around dinnertime. This stew, full of good porky sausage and plenty of tender cabbage, was his favorite childhood meal.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the kielbasa for about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to the crock-pot.
Step 2
Reduce the heat in the skillet to medium and add the onion. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add 1/2 cup of water and continue cooking, scraping up the brown bits, for 1 minute more. Add the onion with the liquid to the crockpot. Stir the potatoes, cabbage, salt, and pepper into the crockpot.
Step 3
Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours or on low for 3 hours. Serve hot.
