Really a great dinner
by Laverne 7 months ago
Been using Johnsonville products for a long time, but this was the first time we tried the new Polish Kielbasa and it reminded us of the Polish Sauage we used to get growing up in Chicago. Product also has a great casing, not to tough to chew. The recipe had great flavor and was easy to prepare. Look forward to trying the 3 cheese Italian sauage next....

by SweetBee253 7 months ago
it's an old family favourite, however I use fresh potatoes in the same pot as the cabbage, onion & sausage. By the time the stew is done, the potatoes are fully cooked anyways, but took on all the delicious flavor from the rest of the ingredients.

This was very good, reminded me of how my Grandma cooked
by mistyblue884 7 months ago
I like the Polish sausage with the cabbage , it reminded me of how my Grandma used to cooked before she passed away. She was full blooded Bohemian and cooked alot of Bohemian foods, such as this one, with homemade rolicky ( same as a croissant roll basically), My Grandma wouldnt had tho put in the mashed potatoes, and she would had added caraway seeds, she used that in alot of the dishes she made of Bohemian Food. And she would had fresh garden boiled potatoes to have the cabbage & sausage added over it. Yum delicious. Thank you for the recipe. I will try it but without adding mash tators. This also would have been delicious taking Johnsonville Sausage and roll it up in cabbage lleaves and cook it. Yum.

I tried this recipe using the fully cooked smoked sausage and it was great! My family absolutely loved it. The thing I like the most is being able to take the product right out of the package and use it in a recipe and it still has the great taste that my family has become accustomed to with the other Johnsonville products. Quick and easy!

Easy and filling
by skubydoobie 7 months ago
This is a fantastically easy recipe to follow. The kids adored the fresh flavor of the cabbage over my usual methods of canned products. I added some potatoes on the side to make this meal all the more hearty and I will be adding this to my winter book. The flavors meld together in the pan and soak everything in the tasty juices during simmering. This really is a recipe that can be accomplished and on the table before any delivery person makes it to the door.

It's a "Family Tradition"
by julismom 8 months ago
We called it fried cabbage. Mom made this favorite meal that was both economical, and delicious. I've tried to make it for my family, but when my daughter was younger, she pronounced it "yucky". I'm excited that Johnsonville now offers fully cooked sausage to use in my childhood fave. I've trusted the Johnsonville name for a long time. Now with the delicious fully cooked sausage, we can enjoy this faster. It makes having favorite meals during weeknight rush time easier to do, with less work. Thanks!
