Notes

  • The amounts of vegetables are fairly flexible. For example, if you have more cabbage and less carrots, it's not a big deal.  Don't like potatoes? Add extra cabbage instead. You get the picture.
  • I actually made this before church on Saturday afternoon.  Then I turned off the burner and covered with a lid.  When I get home about an hour later, I heated it back up.  It was perfect!
  • We love cabbage recipes at These Old CookBooks.  Try Cheesy Cabbage Casserole, Sweet and Sour Coleslaw, Low Calorie Cabbage Soup, and Instant Pot Boiled Kielbasa Dinner.
  • Be sure to watch your butter in the first step.  If you have the burner turned up too high, your butter could burn and start to form brown chunks. Yuck!
  • This recipe is easy to customize.  For one, you could swap out chunks of leftover ham for the smoked sausage.  Or, you could also swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth or even water.
  • If you do use some type of broth; be sure to use low sodium.  This allows you to control the salt content.  Vegetables require quite a bit of salt.  Taste at the end and season appropriately.
