I'm not a big fan of onions, so I omitted them from my casserole. It still turned out delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of cabbage, but this casserole changed my mind. The cabbage is cooked until it's tender and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.

This casserole is a total comfort food! The kielbasa, cabbage, potatoes, and onions are all cooked to perfection, and the flavors blend together so well. I especially love the crispy edges of the potatoes.
