About

Polish sausage (Kielbasy) pairs greatly with intensely flavored cabbage, also known as sauerkraut. While you certainly need a taste for fermented foods, this dish is packed with all sorts of good-for-you nutrients. You can thank healthy bacteria and science for this one!

The cooking time for this recipe is a suggestion – you can absolutely set your Crock Pot on low heat and leave it running all day while you’re at work. The longer the better, and your house will smell heavenly when you get home!
