In this Cabbage & Noodles recipe, simple pantry ingredients create a comforting dish in just minutes. Tender sweet cabbage, fluffy egg noodles and deliciously browned sausage are tossed with butter, salt & pepper. A perfectly comforting meal that your whole family will love!
When I was a kid, I loved veggies and now that I’m older, I love them even more. Right near the top of my list is cabbage!
Not only does it taste great either raw or cooked, it’s so good for you! Typically we use it in cabbage rolls or cabbage roll soup but of course it’s great in a nice crunchy coleslaw too!
Cabbage and Noodles (aka Haluskie) is an old Polish dish and it’s one of my favorites from my Grandmother! Different areas have slightly different versions, Slovak Halusky is more of a potato dumpling while other areas enjoy it as cabbage and noodles.
Regardless of what you call this dish, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the sweet flavors of cabbage and a great way to get a meal on the table on a busy weeknight!
Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe deter you from giving it a try, ingredients don’t have to be fancy to taste amazing!
When seasoning this dish, be generous with the salt & pepper, it makes this extra good! I typically use egg noodles in this dish, I love the light fluffy texture and you can use any type of sausage. If you don’t like sausage, feel free to crisp up some bacon (and sub in some of the bacon grease in place of the butter) or skip the meat altogether.

Delicious & easy!
Minimal ingredients and easy to prepare especially if time is a factor. Delicious flavour. Thanks Holly, for this time saver.
I made this and it turned out amazing! Very filling, full of flavor, veggies and comforting.
Could this recipe be made in a crockpot ..
Thanks

I haven’t tried this in a crockpot, but I do think the onion, cabbage, sausage, and seasonings could be cooked in the slow cooker with about ¾ cup chicken broth on low (5 to 6 hours or until tender). I would suggest cooking the egg noodles on the side (adding the peas to the boiling water in the last minute) and stirring it in before serving.
I have cooked this recipe several times, everyone loves it. Just wondering if I can make ahead and freeze it so I have some ready to go.
I haven’t tried freezing this recipe. The texture of the noodles may change a bit but I think it would still taste great. Let us know how it goes!
Loved it! Quick and easy – made it with Chicken Apple sausage (what I had in house) – next time will definitely use Kielbasa. Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve made this dish many times and it’s always delicious, rarely any leftovers. Add a little chicken or beef broth to moisten it up the next day and it’s even tastier than the night before!
SUBLIME! Just as is.
Love this recipe!! I shared it with my sister and she also raved about it too. Her family couldn’t get enough of it!
My all time favorite recipe for Cabbage & Noodles! I always send a bowl to my elderly neighbor when I make it and he love it!
That’s great stuff
I’m trying your easy yet tasty meals. Great sharing
This was delicious. So good, and the family actually ate all the veggies without complaint!
Another winner. Super easy, delicious and inexpensive! What more could you ask for?
I made this today and it was absoluty wonderful. I cant wait to try the cabbage roll recipe.
We love this! I grew up with a grandmother who made halushki (cabbage rolls rather than this method) and I wouldn’t even try it. Now I am a cabbage lover and regret being a fussy kid who wouldn’t try it. I added a little spice to it with cayenne pepper. It’s so yummy and easy to throw together.
Great way to use the other half of a cabbage that you have leftover from slaw. Used Italian hot pork sausage which created a great base for the onions. Excellent dish of comfort food, thanks!
Delicious and simple! Couldn’t ask for more! Thank you!
It really is delicious.. we brown both noodles and cabbage. A couple of my children like to squeeze a wedge of lemon over the bowl.
