This fantastically simple Traditional Haluski Recipe combines onions, bacon, garlic, and cabbage, all cooked in butter and tossed with egg noodles or dumplings. This delectable taste treat comes together so quickly and easily, making it one of our favorites.
What is Haluski?
I love Haluski. I mean, really, who doesn’t? This noodles and cabbage dish is commonly referred to as Haluski. Haluski is a Noodles and Cabbage dish of Polish and Slovakian origin, although there is some disagreement from the 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. Now I don’t think that the original version had bacon in it, but you know me well. Savory gives the dish that much more delicious flavor.
How do you 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, cooking for about 30 seconds while stirring continuously. 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.
Recipe notes and tips
- Don’t overcook the noodles because you don’t want them to break apart. Cook them slightly al dente.
- Get your bacon crispy, as crispy bacon tastes better and holds up better in this dish.
- Chop your cabbage into bite-size pieces.
- This dish is best as soon as it is cooked. I have had it sit for a bit, and it still tastes good. But right out of the pan upon completion is phenomenal.
- If you are looking for a heartier meal, then add thinly sliced pieces of kielbasa, chicken, or beef sausage at the same time that you add the onions.
- Use sweet cream butter.
- Season with salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
