"Boiled Dinner" - Cabbage, Potatoes, Onions and Skinless Smoked Sausage

Occasionally, when I was growing up, my mother would make what we called "boiled dinner". I remember being disappointed when I would smell it cooking as I did not like cooked cabbage as a child (but I would eat it raw). Back in those days, my mother made it with only cabbage, potatoes and onions so it was a meatless meal.

As I grew older and got married, I learned to love this meal and it is so simple to make too! With so many variations that can be done, a person could have this meal at least once a week if they wanted.

It can be used as a side dish with any type of meat or eaten as a vegetarian meal. It is great with bread "n" butter or garlic bread/toast. I have added green beans to it. Ham is also good. Meatballs is another (I cook them first to remove most of the grease). This is just a few of the things that you can do with this dish. I want to add that I always add garlic powder and black pepper. (I do not cook with salt)

 My favorite is with cabbage, potatoes, onions and skinless smoked sausage. We made out own garlic toast to go with this meal. It was delicious!

My grandson and my nephew enjoyed this meal tremendously. It is even better the next day and we will be finishing it up today. Yummy! Don't you just love to eat food!
