Shari’s Husband’s Haluski Recipe
Package of egg noodles (use half of a package if you like more cabbage in your recipe)
Whole head of cabbage
Kielbasa (optional)
1 stick of butter, margarine or olive oil
Chopped onions
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
1) Cook any brand of egg noodles per package instructions and drain before adding to cooked cabbage. You can use a 1/2 bag of noodles depending on whether you enjoy more cabbage than noodles.
2) Cut head of cabbage in half and remove stem core. Cut into 3 pieces and then cut those pieces into 3 pieces to give you a nice bite-size piece. Repeat on second half of head.
3) Sauté some chopped onions (you can add a little butter to these)
3) Melt 1 stick of butter, margarine or olive oil (your preference) to non-stick dutch oven or pot. Add the sautéed onions to the dutch oven or pot.
4) Add cut cabbage. Generously add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Cover with lid, cook on medium heat. The cabbage will cook down releasing its moisture. Stir occasionally until it becomes soft. A little brownish tint isn’t a bad thing. During this stage you can also add cut-up kielbasa sausage.
5) Drain noodles. Add to pan. Lightly mix in to the cabbage. Cover and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes to enable all ingredients to meld with the noodles.
6) Serve and enjoy.
