Description

This cabbage, potatoes, and sausage casserole is baked in the oven with bread, milk, and eggs for a simple and delicious Mennonite-style main dish.

Ingredients

1 small head cabbage
2 cups diced potatoes
1 (16 ounce) package smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 slices bread, cut into cubes
1/2 cup butter, sliced

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Remove and wash outer leaves from cabbage; line a 9x13-inch baking dish with the leaves to cover the bottom entirely. Shred remaining cabbage.
3 Combine shredded cabbage, potatoes, and sausage in a large bowl; spread over cabbage leaves in the baking dish.
4 Whisk together milk, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined; fold in bread cubes. Set aside until bread absorbs some liquid, 1 to 2 minutes; pour over cabbage mixture. Dot with butter.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
