This simple slow cooker stew transforms just a handful of ingredients into a deeply comforting and hearty meal. Perfect for busy days, it requires minimal prep and lets the appliance do the work, slowly melding the flavors into a delicious, tender dish.
The cabbage cooks down to a soft, slightly sweet tenderness, while the smoked sausage provides a robust, savory depth. Simmered in a base of tangy tomatoes and rich broth, these four core ingredients create a balanced and satisfying stew that’s both incredibly affordable and adaptable to your tastes. It’s an ideal family-friendly option for weeknights or a make-ahead meal for the week.
