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.

  1. My mom and grandma have been making this recipe for many years, except they use bacon instead of the polish sausage. I made this recipe just the way you say to, and I have to tell you, it NEEDS BACON. Hehe! So I am going to make it again, just like how to say to, except I am going to add bacon as well. It adds so much great flavor. You should try it <3 XO!

  2. I tried this recipe several times now and it is delicious. Usually just leave out butter because is a bit greasy along with sausage.   Didn’t effect the taste at all.  Yummmy!

  3. The halusky I grew up on made by my grandpapa was egg noodles with butter and cream cheese…. This would definitely be a different twist I may have to try. But still with the cream cheese. 

  4. I just came across this recipe on pinterest and it looks delicious! My husband doesn’t like cabbage do you think the recipe would work with thinly sliced brussel sprouts?

    I was also thinking I’d omit the onion (we have food allergies in the house) and add extra garlic and some shredded raw radishes before serving. Would this change the recipe too much or would it still be OK? Does anyone have any experience with leaving out cabbage and onions since they are 2 main ingredients of the dish?

    1. Hi Melissa,
      I have not tried it with brussels sprouts, but I think that would be a yummy spin on this recipe!
      I often change things up in recipes to suit my preferences and moods, so I think your ideas would be a great in this recipe.

  5. We loved it!   I used half of the amount of butter and oil in a nonstick pan. I also only used a few noodles since we are trying to watch our. carbs. I used the Kabasa with cheddar because  that’s what I had on hand.  I think some sliced thin apples would be good in it too. 

  6. Yes was very good. Would like to have had a little mote noodles & more beef . The more beef is my husband’s request but all & all very good!!#

  7. This looks delicious!  What would you suggest as side dishes , veggies for instance, to make this a full meal?  Thanks! 

  8. I did make this, and it was a big hit.  I will definitely make it again.   I stuck to the recipe as it is written, and wouldn’t change a thing.

  9. So many suggestions for this recipe, I have made it for years and use carrots instead of peas, can’t wait to try the different ways. This was always served with corn bread. I always enjoy reading the different ways to prepare a recipe.

  10. Bought a cabbage on sale at the store, but didn’t know what to do with it. Came across this recipe, and luckily had everything already except the onion on hand. It was tasty! The butter and olive oil gave it an extra richness. Overall, using a full head of cabbage gave us plenty of leftovers, and this dish was kid and spouse approved! Thanks for the recipe!4 stars
