1 Tbl olive oil

One 1 pound package kielbasa,
sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds

     1.  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Brown the kielbasa for about 5 min.  Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to the crockpot.

     2.  Reduce he heat in the skillet to medium and add the onion.  Cook stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened.  Add 1/2 cup water and continue cooking, scraping up the brown bits, for 1 min more.  Add the onion  with the liquid to the crockpot.  Stir the potatoes, cabbage,salt and pepper into the crockpot.

     3.  Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours or on low for 3 hours.  Serve hot. 

      Note I added a little vinager to my bowl seperate it was delicious and seperately, so that those who don't like vinegar can go without.
