What is Haluski?

This cabbage and noodles dish is commonly referred to as Haluski. Haluski is of Polish and Slovakian origin, although there is some disagreement among Ukrainians and Hungarians.

No matter where it originated from, it is delicious comfort food. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. I don’t think the original version had bacon, but you know me well. Bacon gives the dish a much more delicious flavor.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

See below for the complete list of ingredients and quantities

• Egg noodles: I like the Amish egg noodles, which are a little more like dumplings, but you can use any egg noodles.
• Bacon: Although not traditional, I love adding crispy, cooked, thick bacon pieces to this dish. You won’t regret it.
• Cabbage: Regular green cabbage is traditional and best.

How to Make Haluski

First, boil the egg noodles in a large pot of water according to the package directions and drain well. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion to the skillet until the onions are soft and the bacon is almost completely browned.

Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Cook and stir for about 30 seconds. Then add the cabbage and continue cooking and stirring until the cabbage is tender. Add the cooked egg noodles to the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Season with kosher salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.

Preparations Tips

• Get your bacon crispy, as crispy bacon tastes better and holds up better in this dish.
• If you want a heartier meal, add thinly sliced pieces of kielbasa, chicken, or beef sausage while adding the onions.
• Season with salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.

Serving Suggestions

I love to serve Polish sausage or any smoked sausage. It is also delicious with pan-fried pork chops and ham steak. I also love to serve it with stuffed cabbage, beef stroganoff, and Swedish meatballs.
