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.

I am so glad I stumbled upon this recipe! I’ve been looking for cheap, delish meals and this one is perfect. I added more cabbage and peas and fewer noodles. Still amazing.
I did but used smaller onion and had peas and carrots to it
This dish is wonderful. I’ve also used ham in it when I have some left over. I don’t use olive oil. I fry it in bacon grease. Great recipe. Thank you!

Great recipe! I have made this several times and it’s a hit each time. My girls and husband ask for this dish always. Definitely a keeper! Thanks Holly!
Got stuck in a rut & needed new menu items! Since everyone in the family likes cabbage decided to give your recipe a try – it’s a hit!!!! I use white pepper because the children think they don’t like pepper & it blends in. Also substituted corn for peas as someone else suggested as our family is not a fan of peas. Next up I’m going to try your cabbage rolls! Thank you for sharing your recipes! They are a blessing!!!
Thank you Jaimee! I’m so glad to hear they love it. You may also like to try this cabbage soup!

Awesome.
