Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Kielbasa sausage
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (optional, shredded)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa (sliced into rounds) and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Remove the kielbasa and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the onion for 5-6 minutes until it begins to caramelize. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Sprinkle with paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens slightly.
Layer the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Pour half of the chicken broth over the potatoes. Spread the cabbage and onion mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Top the cabbage mixture with the browned kielbasa. Pour the remaining chicken broth over the dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this hearty casserole as a standalone meal or pair with crusty bread!
