Crock Pot smoked sausage, cabbage, and potatoes is an easy dinner idea using garden fresh vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, onions, and carrots that have been slow cooked in the juices from the smoked sausage. This dinner was a favorite for me growing up. Definitely a German food favorite.
This is a change-up to one of my family’s favorite recipes that combine smoked sausage, potatoes, and green beans. Our family loves smoked sausage. They are actually indifferent to cabbage but do love themselves some cole slaw. This recipe was so full of flavor and definitely a great summer dinner recipe.
Smoked Sausage, Cabbage, and Potatoes Ingredients
While the name of the recipe would make you think it just is a three-ingredient recipe, I use a few more ingredients to make these flavors together.
To make this recipe, be sure to have these ingredients:
- Smoked Sausage
- Cabbage
- Red Potatoes
- Onions
- Carrots
- Salt and Pepper
How to Make Slow Cooker Smoked Sausage, Cabbage, and Potatoes
Begin making this recipe by getting your 6-quart crock pot 
Then add the cabbage, onions, and carrots. If you use large carrots chop them up as well. I used baby carrots and kept them whole. The carrots can also be left out of this recipe. The flavors will still be amazing. Salt and pepper the top of the vegetables.
Cut the smoked sausage into 2-3 inch pieces. Top the vegetables with the smoked sausage pieces.
Cook the crock pot smoked sausage, cabbage, and potatoes on low for 6-8 hours. When the cabbage has cooked down and the potatoes and carrots are soft, the dish is ready to be devoured.
Serve up the smoked sausage and fixings in the bowls. There should not be much liquid, but the vegetables will create some.

Won’t the potatoes burn without a small amount of liquid in the bottom of the crockpot?
Mine did not. The ingredients actually put of liquid as they cook as well.
