Slow Cooker Polish Sausage, Cabbage and Onions

We are on tour with Food Of The World, hosted by Diane at Simple Living and Eating.  This month we are visiting Poland.  When Diane announced the country the first thing I thought about were the Polish families that lived in our community when I was a young girl and all the fabulous food they made along with the wonderful stories they told about their homeland.  One of those families, a friend of our family, had a meat market and every week they made polish sausage.  I remember going to the market with my mother and watching them as they made the sausage. It was a real art form, with a rhythm that develops as each individual sausage was twisted into a long chain of sausages.  We would take the fresh sausage home and my mother would prepare it in several different ways, they were all very simple dishes but always delicious.  The recipe that I am presenting today has been developed through the years and has changed just a bit as the popular foods of our changing food culture have changed.  This is my favorite recipe for the sausage.

Slow Cooker Polish Sausage, Cabbage and Onions


Slow Cooker Polish Sausage, Cabbage and Onions
Miz Helen's Kitchen
Ingredients
8 Smoked Polish Sausage
4 medium yellow onions, sliced
3 cups cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
dash cayenne pepper
2 cups apple juice
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
8 Hoagie Rolls, toasted with garlic butter
Directions
In a hot skillet, brown the polish sausage on all sides
Spray the Slow Cooker with non stick cooking spray
Mix the brown sugar, mustard, peppers, and apple juice together
Place the shredded cabbage in the bottom of the slow cooker and layer the onions on top
Pour 1/2 of the apple juice mix on top of the cabbage and onions
Place the browned sausage on top of the cabbage and onions
Pour the remainder of the apple juice mix over the sausage
Cook on high for 4 hours
Serve the sausage on a platter with the cabbage and onions as a side, or serve the sausage in a toasted Hoagie Bun, garnished with the onions and cabbage and topped off with grated cheese.
We like to toast our Hoagie Bun with garlic butter

    Hi, this recipe looks awesome! The next time we have Polish sausage, I'm going to try this method--never would have thought about using my Crock-Pot for this. Thanks for sharing, and I will happily be following your blog. Dee :)

    When I first saw this post with the first couple of pictures I was trying to decide whether or not it looked tasty. Then I saw your pictures of them on the buns and thought, "YUM! My hubby and I are going to love this." I can hardly to wait to make it. Do you think you could share this recipe post and any other great ones at our Making Monday link party? We would love it. Thanks. Have a fabulous day. http://www.abrightandbeautifullife.com/making-monday-9/
