Slow Cookin Thursday

It's almost too late to join Sandra @ Diary of a SAHM for SCT - but I do want to post one of the EASIEST crock pot meals my family enjoys:

Ham - Cabbage - Potatoes

My friend Tami introduced this simple meal to us when she visited me when I was pregnant with my first child - 10 years ago!! - while we were stationed in Germany. :) Fond memories!

So, you just peel your potatoes & quarter them or slice them up however you wish (bigger pieces seem to work better w/ this meal). Put them in a crock pot.
De-core and quarter the cabbage and add it to the crock pot too. It takes a little re-arranging to make a little "nest" to put in your
PRE COOKED HAM (might need to cut it into pieces to make it all fit).

Add 1-2 cups of water.

Cook on low 6-8 hours.

You gotta love the smell of cooked cabbage to enjoy this one - but we find the cabbage delicious with butter & salt on it! I'm 100% German, so cabbage is in my genes! Did you know that the derogatory term "Kraut" used for the Germans in World War II actually means "cabbage" in German??! So, you can call me a Kraut any time, and I won't be offended.

I have this same recipe but it calls for kielbasa sausage. It is VERY good.

Mmmm, I can just smell that stuff cooking! Aah! Smells good. :) Sandra's idea sounds good too, with the kielbasa. Ok...so I'll have to try this recipe soon too...especially now since we've got fresh coming in out of the garden!!
Happy Day, Conny!
