What’s not to love about fall? Beautiful walking weather, foliage watching with lots of crafts, cute outfits for everyone and oh the food. The food is glorious. Sure you can enjoy these dishes all year round but there is something so special about cooking them in the fall. Oktoberfest brings back the nostalgia of my 20’s particularly the food and the beer. Fast forward to my 30’s with a family of my own, now I enjoy the food family style and a mocktail. This weekend I made this roasted sausage and cabbage with potatoes and carrots. Since the temperature outside is just right, I made this yummy Oktoberfest inspired dish in the oven.
You came to the right place for your family friendly Oktoberfest meal of the week. From prep to plate, this recipe is done in just under an hour when you use Hillshire Farm® Polska Kielbasa plus parboil your potatoes as you prep the other ingredients. It’s simple, delicious and definitely tummy warming on these cool fall nights. You can opt to do the entire recipe in the oven by cutting the potatoes into small pieces. I like them parboiled first because they can easily be turned into smashed potatoes for my toddler. If you know anything about toddlers and their eating habits, trust me cook it the way the want it.
Sausage and Cabbage Recipe
Hillshire Farm® Polska Kielbasa sausage makes getting this recipe on the table easy.
Cabbage is the other main ingredient and carrots bring a sweetness to the dish.
Start by parboiling your potatoes on the stove.
Remove the loose green leaves and then cut your cabbage into large chunks.
Peel and cut your carrots into 2-3 long trips. Tip:Slice off a little bit to make the carrot flat which prevents the carrot from rolling while you cut.
Put everything together, season to taste and pop your tray in the oven. Clean up the minimal amount of dishes you used to prepare the recipe.
Serve the finished dish family style. Everyone can take what they want. The Hubs thought the entire tray was for him. Good thing this recipe made two trays 🙂
This apple cider mocktail was the perfect family friendly beverage for this dish.
Want to make this easy recipe for dinner tonight? Pick up all the ingredients at Walmart. You can choose the Hillshire Farm Polska Kielbasa or the regular Smoked Sausage. Either one works well with this dish.

December 1, 2015 at 8:00 PMIt’s in the oven now! When I saw this recipe Sunday I had everything but the cabbage; got that yesterday, now we’re in business. I did parboil my potatoes so one pot besides the pan it’s roasting in, can’t beat it.
