Notes
Equipment needed for this easy Amish Sausage and cabbage casserole.
- 7 quart crockpot You can use a 6 quart crockpot as well but I have included a link to a crockpot that I used quite frequently for the past several years and it has not let me down yet!
- Chef’s Knife A nice and sharp chef’s knife makes chopping the cabbage and potatoes so much easier in this recipe.
- Cutting board I like to use a plastic cutting board that is dish washer friendly for my veggies and meats, makes the process much easier and quicker!
- Spatula I like to use a variety of sizes in this recipe, a smaller spatula is great for getting those cream of soup cans nice and clean, and a larger spatula works well for spreading the soups evenly over the potatoes.
Try this casserole with homemade Applesauce or with smoky creamed corn. We love to have fresh homemade Amish honey bread or homemade whole wheat bread as a side to casseroles as well!
Step 1: Add water, cabbage and potatoes in the crockpot in an even layer, then season to taste with salt, pepper and season all (optional).
Note*
This casserole is very versatile, feel free to add or subtract veggies. You can also up the seasoning game by adding your favorite seasonings and customizing this casserole to fit your taste!
Step 2: Add green beans, onions, more seasoning, and then add the browned loose sausage.
Note*
If using fresh raw green beans in this recipe be sure to pre steam the green beans to help them cook properly in this casserole.
Step 3: Spread the cream of soups evenly over the top of the layered veggies and sausage. Cook (or bake in a baking dish) the casserole until the potatoes and veggies have softened to preference.
Substitution:
You can also use one 10.5 oz. can of cream of mushroom soup and one 10.5 oz. can of cream of chicken soup. This soup combination is my personal favorite, but feel free to use the soups of your preference.
Step 4: Stir the soups into the cooked casserole and then top with shredded cheese. Cool slightly and enjoy!
