Mennonite Cabbage Potato Kielbasa Bake

Cajun spin: We made changes based on what we had on hand, and it was a great light dish. As we had crawfish sausage, we used 1.5 t cajun seasoning for the salt and pepper. We used 2c shredded hash browns for the potatoes (O'Briens would be good) and about 1.5 c croutons for the bread. We had to cover for a bit to get it all soft. Very flavorful. Cajun trio or chiles would be good. We added hot sauce. Simple, fast, low carb, yummy. (We added buttered biscuit pieces to the bottom of our teen boys' dishes).

I’m having a tough time reviewing this one because while I didn’t mind it, my family didn’t like it at all. I think it was a combo of all the cabbage and the texture of the bread topping, and maybe it’s just not for their taste. That being said, here’s what worked for me after reading the reviews on the recipe timing. I made sure the potatoes were diced (as called for in the recipe), not big cubes. I cooked with foil on top for the first 30 minutes, then finished it for the last 15 minutes without the foil, and the veggies were cooked through just fine (no additional time or liquid needed). I also added some garlic and onion powders to the milk mixture since some the reviews mentioned it needed more seasoning.

It was great, my wife and I loved it. I did make a changes to it. I baked for 45 minutes @ 400°. It was not done but the top was getting very brown. So I covered with aluminum foil and retuned to the oven for 30 minutes more. That done the trick. 👍 It’s a great recipe!

I wanted to make something different and this was it! I didn’t use potatos but used potato bread. We like a lot of flavor so added Krazy Jane, Garlic and Parsley, & season salt to the milk and egg. Normally I don’t use a-lot of Salt but with Cabbage I like to use it. I saw reviews about baking time so I left it 10 min longer and I don’t think it needed it. I did use farm fresh cabbage so maybe it gave it extra juice but will make again!

This turned out very yummy. I used some of the reviewer suggestions. I made only half of the recipe. I started with a strip of bacon diced and cooked with some onion and celery.. i added the cabbage to the pot with 1/2 cup chicken stock. . Microwaved the potato for 4 minutes added that to the pot. Put it in a 8x8 dish. I did not line it with cabbage leaves. I didn’t understand why yo do that. Then poured the bread/milk/egg mixture over that and dotted with butter. It was dine and beautiful at 35 minutes. It’s flavorful and delicious comfort food. .
