Steps:
- Cut the cabbage in about 8 slices and then in chunks. Place this in a pot with enough water to cover. Add onion that has been cut into chunks. Cover and bring to a boil.
- When the cabbage is almost done, add sliced raw potatoes (about 1/2" thick) and sliced Kielbasa.(sliced thin(about 1/4") if you want meat in every bite, or thick if you want to bite into chunks (about 3/4").
- Also add your spices. There should be just enough water to barely cover the stew.
- Cover and cook at a simmer till potatoes are done.(about 15 minutes).
- I serve this in a soup bowl, and add a bit of vinegar to your liking, just before eating. If you don't care for vinegar, adding a bit of chicken stock and less water while cooking will flavor this dish also.
- It is a real warm you up meal on a cold winter day. I keep this meal simple. I serve with it with biscuits and butter, or a loaf of garlic bread.

CROCK POT KIELBASA GARBANZO STEW
This is a very simple and great recipe that my family has been making for years and I don't see anything like it on this site. It's from a 1976 edition of a Better Homes and Gardens Crockery Cooker cookbook, listed as Sausage-Garbanzo bake. I usually double the recipe and serve with white rice. You can reduce the fat content by choosing low-fat or Turkey-kielbasa.

LENTIL-VEGETABLE-KIELBASA SLOW COOKER STEW
I adapted this from the "Fix-it and Forget-It Lightly" cookbook. The original recipe is great, but my carnivore husband suggested adding the kielbasa, which I did in the last hour of slow cooking. I also threw in extra veggies, both fresh and canned. This is one of those recipes you don't have to worry about measuring the veggies...in fact, add whatever you fancy!

KIELBASA STEW (CROCK POT)
We really enjoyed this simple stew from Fix-It and Forget-It Recipes for Entertaining by Phyllis Pellman Good & Dawn J. Ranck. I've made this twice now......once in the crock pot and once on the stove top when I was in more of a hurry. I like to replace one can of tomato sauce with diced tomatoes.
