Classic Haluski with Cabbage and Noodles

Y’all, if you’ve never had the pleasure of twirling your fork into a heap of Classic Haluski with Cabbage and Noodles, buckle up. This dish is like a cozy hug from your grandma, if your grandma was a carb-loving, butter-enthusiast from Eastern Europe.
Ingredients
- 8 oz wide egg noodles – because skinny noodles just can’t handle the cabbage’s attitude.
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter – and yes, we’re measuring with our hearts here.
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced – tears are optional but likely.
- 1 small head green cabbage, cored and sliced – about 4 cups, because we’re not playing around.
- Salt and pepper – to make everything right in the world.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, because mushy noodles are a sad affair.
- While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent onion mutiny.
- Toss in the cabbage, stirring to coat it in buttery goodness. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still has a bit of crunch. Tip: A little char adds character, so don’t shy away from some color.
- Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet with the cabbage. Toss everything together like you’re mixing the best playlist ever. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Tip: A splash of the noodle water can help bring everything together if it’s looking dry.
Mmm, what you’ve got here is a dish that’s all about contrast – the soft noodles against the slightly crunchy cabbage, the sweet onions against the savory butter. Serve it up in a big bowl with a side of crusty bread to sop up any buttery remnants, because let’s be real, you’re going to want to.
Haluski with Kielbasa and Caramelized Onions

Picture this: a dish so comforting, it hugs you from the inside out. Haluski with Kielbasa and Caramelized Onions is the culinary equivalent of your favorite cozy sweater—only tastier and with more caramelized onions.
Ingredients
- 1 lb kielbasa, sliced into bite-sized pieces (because who has time for uneven bites?)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced (the thinner, the sweeter they caramelize)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (yes, butter makes everything better)
- 1 lb egg noodles (the wider, the better to catch all that buttery goodness)
- Salt and pepper to taste (but let’s be honest, you’ll taste as you go)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Tip: Keep an eye on it—butter has a sneaky way of going from melted to burnt.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Patience is key here—no rushing the onion magic.
- While the onions are doing their thing, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Tip: A little noodle water left on them prevents sticking.
- In another skillet, brown the kielbasa slices over medium heat until they’re slightly crispy on the edges, about 5 minutes per side. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan, or you’ll steam them instead of browning.
- Combine the cooked noodles, caramelized onions, and kielbasa in the large skillet. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter, stirring until everything is beautifully coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Kick back and savor the symphony of flavors—the smoky kielbasa, sweet onions, and buttery noodles are a match made in comfort food heaven. Serve it up in a big bowl with a side of crusty bread to sop up any leftover goodness.

Haluski with Bacon and Green Peppers

Dive into a bowl of comfort with this Haluski recipe that’s like a warm hug from your grandma, if your grandma was a Polish chef with a penchant for bacon. It’s the kind of dish that turns a dreary Tuesday into a ‘let’s eat straight from the pan’ kind of day.

Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, but leave that glorious fat in the pan.
- Add the thinly sliced onion to the bacon fat and sauté until golden and sweet, about 5 minutes. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent them from getting too attached to the pan.
- Toss in the diced green pepper and cook for another 3 minutes, just until they start to soften but still have some sass.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Tip: A little undercooked is better than mushy—noodles should have personality.
- Return the bacon to the skillet with the onions and peppers, then add the cooked noodles and butter. Toss everything together until the butter is melted and everything is evenly coated. Tip: This is the perfect time to adjust seasoning, so don’t be shy with the salt and pepper.
- Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring gently, to let the flavors get to know each other.
Every bite of this Haluski is a delightful mix of smoky, sweet, and buttery goodness, with the green peppers adding just the right amount of crunch. Serve it straight from the skillet for that ‘no dishes’ bonus, or fancy it up with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you’re feeling extra.
Slow Cooker Haluski for Busy Weeknights

Ever find yourself staring into the abyss of your fridge, wondering how to whip up something hearty without the hassle? Let me introduce you to your new weeknight warrior: Slow Cooker Haluski. It’s like a cozy hug from your grandma, minus the pinch on the cheeks.
Ingredients
- 1 lb wide egg noodles (because skinny noodles just don’t hold up to the cabbage, trust me)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (salted works, but then we’d have to call it ‘Slow Cooker Salty Haluski’)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced (tears are optional but likely)
- 1 small head green cabbage, cored and chopped (about 6 cups—embrace the crunch)
- 1 tsp caraway seeds (for that ‘what is that amazing flavor?’ moment)
- Salt and pepper to taste (but really, don’t skip the pepper)
Instructions
- In your slow cooker, melt the butter on the high setting. Yes, we’re starting with butter. No, this is not a drill.
- Add the sliced onions and caraway seeds, stirring to coat them in buttery goodness. Let them sweat it out for about 10 minutes until they’re just starting to soften.
- Toss in the chopped cabbage, giving it a good stir to mix with the onions. Cover and let it cook on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Tip: If you peek too much, you’ll let the heat out—patience is key.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Tip: A little undercooked is better here since they’ll hang out in the slow cooker later.
- After the cabbage is tender, stir in the cooked noodles, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure every noodle is living its best buttery life. Cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes.
- Give it a final stir, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Tip: If it’s too dry, a splash of chicken broth can bring it back to life.
Goodness, the buttery noodles tangled with sweet, tender cabbage and that hint of caraway is a match made in weeknight dinner heaven. Serve it up with a dollop of sour cream on top for a creamy twist, or keep it classic—it’s a no-judgment zone here.

- Salt and pepper (to make it taste like food, not cardboard)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Tip: Save a cup of pasta water for later; it’s liquid gold for sauces.
- While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl occasionally until the butter turns a nutty brown, about 3-4 minutes. Tip: Keep an eye on it; butter goes from brown to burnt faster than you can say ‘oops’.
- Add the sliced onions to the brown butter and sauté until they’re golden and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Tip: Stir occasionally unless you enjoy the smell of regret.
- Toss in the Brussels sprouts halves, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until they’re tender and slightly charred, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.

Mmm, let’s talk about a dish that’s like a cozy sweater for your taste buds—Haluski with Butternut Squash and Sage. It’s the kind of meal that makes you want to hug your plate, and yes, that’s totally acceptable behavior here.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed (because nobody likes a tough skin, not even squash)

- 1/2 cup diced onion (tears are optional but likely)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F because we’re about to turn that squash into gold.
- Toss the cubed butternut squash with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes or until they’re caramelized and fork-tender. Tip: Give them space or they’ll steam instead of roast—personal space matters, even for veggies.
- While the squash is roasting, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Tip: Save a cup of pasta water; it’s like liquid gold for sauces.

- 8 oz wide egg noodles – because skinny noodles just don’t hold up to the shrimp.
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined – because nobody has time for shelling at the table.
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter – the more, the merrier, I always say.
- 2 tbsp olive oil – extra virgin, because we’re fancy like that.
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced – for that zing that makes everything sing.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced – measure with your heart, but two is a good start.
- Salt and pepper – to make all the flavors pop.
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley – because green makes it gourmet.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8 minutes. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the noodles cook, heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the shrimp, or they’ll steam instead of sear.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter. Add garlic and lemon zest, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Tip: Keep the heat medium to avoid burning the garlic.
- Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to coat, then stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, gently tossing to combine. Cook for an additional minute to warm everything through.
Kick back and marvel at your creation. The noodles are buttery and rich, the shrimp are perfectly tender, and that lemon? It cuts through like a ray of sunshine. Serve it up in a big bowl, maybe with a side of crusty bread to sop up all that glorious sauce, and watch it disappear before your eyes.
Haluski with Scallops and White Wine Sauce

Now, let’s talk about a dish that’s about to make your Tuesday night feel like a Friday – Haluski with Scallops and White Wine Sauce. It’s the kind of meal that whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds while boldly declaring its presence on your dinner table.
Ingredients
- 1 lb wide egg noodles (because skinny noodles just won’t hold up to the saucy goodness)
- 1 lb sea scallops (freshness is key here, folks)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (I’m team butter all the way)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my kitchen staple)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced (the thinner, the better for that perfect caramelization)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (choose something you’d drink, it makes all the difference)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for that luxurious sauce texture)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to season like a pro)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for that pop of color and freshness)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- While the noodles cook, pat the scallops dry with paper towels (this is the secret to a golden sear).
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops, seasoning with salt and pepper, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter with the remaining olive oil. Add the onion and cook until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and let it reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Return the scallops and any juices to the skillet, along with the cooked noodles, tossing everything gently to coat in the sauce.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Delight in the creamy, wine-infused sauce clinging to every noodle, with scallops that are just the right amount of tender. Serve this beauty in shallow bowls with a side of crusty bread to sop up every last drop of that sauce, because trust me, you’ll want to.

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 8 minutes. Tip: Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining—it’s liquid gold for adjusting sauce consistency later.

- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Tip: Garlic burns faster than your last relationship, so keep an eye on it.
- Gently fold in the cooked lobster meat and tarragon, heating through for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
