Hungarian Haluski (Cabbage and Noodles Recipe)
Hungarian Haluski (Cabbage and Noodles Recipe)- A traditional Polish and Hungarian dish made of sautéed Cabbage with Noodles with Bacon. Haluski (also called Kaposztas Kocka) is just the kind of comfort food I crave around the holidays.
Traditional Haluski Recipe
The holiday season is often a time we want to celebrate heritage and family traditions. This proves to be a little difficult for me, because I’m most certainly a mutt.
As far as I know, I’m a loose cocktail of Native American, English, French and who knows what else. So no distinct cultural traditions stand out.
Growing up in my house, we made up our own traditions around the holidays, instead of relying on those that came before us. I guess that is the American way…
However Lt. Dan has a strong Hungarian heritage, and I love to hear the stories his grandmother tells of their old country customs and special holiday dishes.
Being married to a Hungarian, I’ve casually adopted Hungarian as my cultural tie of choice, so many of the holiday dishes we make stem from Lt. Dan’s great-grandmother’s recipes.
Cabbage and Noodles
In years past we’ve made Hungarian Chicken Paprikas on Christmas Eve as our cozy meal to ring in the Christmas spirit.
Yet another Hungarian dish I’m very fond of, Haluski, is much simpler to make and oh so comforting. This traditional cabbage and noodle dish (also called Kaposztas Kocka) is so easy to prepare, takes no time at all, and requires just 5 ingredients… 6 if you want to garnish it.
With only egg noodles, cabbage, onions, garlic, and bacon you’ve got Haluski Cabbage and Noodles, a traditional Hungarian peasant dish, that is fit for a king.
It should be noted, although I think of this as a Hungarian recipe, because of who shared it with me, Cabbage and Noodles is a VERY popular dish in Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and most of Eastern Europe. The are many variations with various names as well.
Best Haluski Recipe
Haluski Cabbage and Noodles is a simple main dish you can serve on its own this holiday season, or as a hearty side dish to a meaty main course. This no-frills Haluski Cabbage and Noodles is richly bathed in bacon grease, so it is the perfect companion to a roasted bird, braised pork, or even a thick juicy steak.
Do you know who else is passionate about their heritage?

What Ingredients You Will Need
- Thick Cut Bacon – chopped
- Sliced Green Cabbage – only need about half a cabbage
- Medium Onion – sliced
- Minced Garlic Cloves
- Package DeLallo Egg Noodles – I used Pappardelle
- Chopped Parsley for Garnish
How To Make Hungarian Haluski
Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions.
Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water for later use.
Meanwhile, cut the cabbage and onion into quarters. Sliced into strips. Remove the thickest white sections of the cabbage and keep the thinner white and green layers.
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until crisp. Then add the cabbage and onions.
Saute for 5 minutes, then salt and pepper to taste. Toss in the garlic and saute for another 5 minutes.
Once the cabbage is tender, toss the pasta in the skillet. Stir to mix and add a little of the reserved pasta water to help blend the flavors.
Taste for salt and pepper, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm.

Pingback: The 25 BEST Hungarian Recipes | DevGJG
Hello there!
I can only tell you that my Mom’s family came from Poland and sadly, I never got to meet them . My mom was a working woman and rarely made Polish dishes and never made Haluski but I found a recipe a few years ago and just love this! I use the Penn. Dutch wide noodles but you can use Pappardalle as well. I add some paprika and tiny bit of oregano. Great comfort food! I know the Eastern Europeans all have similar versions. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
This recipe was wonderful.I did slice up some smoked sausage and browned it first.I added about a half a cup of the liquid at the end and simmered it all together.
Love this! I was just reading all the comments about favorite Holiday foods. They all sound so good, I want the recipes.
This is the recipe I’ve used my whole life as shown by my mother. There are many variables but rendering the bacon first to us makes this recipe the BEST! The only adjustment i made is once the bacon is crispy, set aside uncovered to remain that way! Try it once that way, you won’t be disappointed.
I am 82 years old & have loved Haluski since my grandmother from (then) Czechoslovakia made it when I was very young. Then my mom made it for us kids, & then I made it for my kids, & now my sons make it in their own homes! None of us use bacon. We use butter….mmmsooo good!😋
Every Christmas Eve, my family insists on Szekely Gulyas. This evening I am making haluski :)
Actually to make this authentic you need to add BROWNED butter at the end. There is also a potato halushki recipe where you use raw grated potatoes with egg and flour to make a very thick dough. Spoon this in small chunks into boiling water to cook about 5 minutes. Toss with the cabbage and brown butter! the best!
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, vegetable
shortening, and salt. 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes until baked thru-out.
You probably have fond childhood memories,
where you enjoyed having snacks with your friends.
My family has made this for years. We call it NBC noodles bacon cabbage.
My grandmother was quite young when she married. 13! And my 14 year old grandfather worked in coal mines. They were not Hungarian but considering a Jewish miners wife taught her to make latkes maybe a Hungarian miners wife taught her this?
i make this great dish, but, never thought of adding bacon to it !

Pingback: Halushki with Bacon and Ricotta Cheese
I’ve never heard of putting bacon in haluski. I ate it very frequently as a kid, but neither my mom nor my grandma ever used bacon.

This prize is AMAZING. Thank you again!
Just made this tonight and served as a side dish to baked pork chops. Super delicious and decadent! I ended up using the entire cup of reserved liquid and letting the whole dish simmer together while waiting for the pork chops to finish baking. We will definitely be eating this again!

We always have a venison roast for Christmas eve.
Love those prizes and the recipe. I’ll have to try it sometime.

I love making a roasted turkey with all the fixings!
On Christmas Eve I make an overnight pecan praline French toast that we put in the oven for a nice, hot breakfast after the kids open presents

Italian Holiday Bread is a family tradition!
I’m half Hungarian, but wholly embarrassed to say I have never heard of this dish! Still, I’m not surprised to see it, since cabbage and pasta are the key ingredients in just about every Hungarian dish. Adding this to the dinner rotation for this week!
I am 100 per cent Hungarian and have never heard of this dish. Maybe a variation or maybe the same that just looked different. The name Haluski sounds Polish. Nevertheless it sounds good and will try it. I like cut up cabbage, onion, polish sausage and a little tomato juice or sauce.
Looks amazing!
Wow this dish looks like it’s brimming with delicious flavor :)
My dad always made a decadent ham for christmas time that is just irresistible, I can always smell it as I walk up the driveway!

my grandma’s mashed potatoes…I don’t care what else is served as long as those are there
My mom’s chicken alfrado lasagna is a holiday staple.
Pasta is my go-to favorite for feeding my hungry husband & sons! I don’t think I’ve ever made the same pasta sauce twice, I’m always throwing in an extra chopped veggies that’ve been neglected in the refrigerator or the last bit of freshly grated parmesan or the last spoonful of sour cream or yogurt or even cream cheese.
Boy id love to win this one.
besides the candy/cookie baking fest, which is fun and involves the whole gang, I have for the past 5 years been getting a huge HoneyBaked Ham and then prepping a couple of salads to go with it… We eat as you like it for a couple of days after Christmas. It has been a nice immediate slow down after the madness….
I’d be thrilled. I’m not usually one to enter a giveaway (i never win), but this one’s too good to pass up! love the apron and can’t wait to include this recipe in an upcoming #monthofmeals!

Mmm…I love Hungarian food!
I live in Pittsburgh, and haluski is on about every restaurant menu around here. Yours looks much better than any I have seen around here, though! Will have to give this a try!
Laura, really? Another friend told me it was common in that area as well. But down here in the south it’s hard to come by.
Great recipe!
I also don’t have any strong tie to a certain heritage and there was never one thing that my family had to make every year. My grandma did have the tradition of always making a pancake breakfast every holiday morning and my mom loved to celebrate on Christmas Eve by making appetizers and trying out new recipes.
this just got my stomach growling at a very early hour- It does look like wonderful comfort food!
My favorite holiday dish is sweet potato casserole!

So, our family would have the best of both worlds. Now I make it every year, and my little girl helps me out now. Love our tradition! :)

One of my favorite family dishes is lasagna. Might not seem like a holiday food, but it’s one of the few things we can all agree on and it makes enough to feed everyone!
this dish looks so good I am out to shop for cabbage to make this tonight thank you
My mom always makes a huge tray of lasagna! I’ve tried, but can never seem to get it just right :)

I love my moms stuffing!
Our favorite holiday dish is PRIME RIB! It’s something we’ve done for years, ever since I was a kid. When my bf and I celebrated our first Christmas together, I asked him if we should make a turkey or prime rib. His eyes LIT UP and he said, “you can make prime rib?!” He’d only had it in a restaurant, so he was amazed that it could be Christmas dinner. We’ve been making it every year since! :)
I’ve been married for 5 years, and since our marriage, we’ve always spent the holidays with extended family. This year, we’re staying home, so we don’t have a traditional meal yet, but my husband always wants cinnamon rolls Christmas morning, which I’m happy to make for him :)
We don’t have a traditional dish. We have had Mexican, Chinese, seafood and prime rib in recent years.
Such a creative dish! Love it.
We always have chicken tortilla soup for Christmas Eve. Yummy!

Our family tradition is to make a ‘crockpot’ Christmas dinner. Turkey tenderloins go into one crock and mashed potatoes to warm up(made the night before) into another crock. A fresh vegetable rounds out the meal. That way we can all relax and enjoy the day.

I already subscribe
We love roasted beef tenderloin! That is our Christmas Day dinner of choice!
the noodle dish and the holiday pasta package sound wonderful
I grew up with a Hungarian mother and every summer we went “home” to Alberta to see my grandma and Aunt and Uncles. Being at Grandma’s meant meals with wonderful Hungarian dishes. My grandma was a great cook (so was my mom) and Kaposztas Tasta is what she always called the dish you talk about. My grandma made her own noodles…from very fine soup noodles to funny twisted ones that she used her “cheega beega” to shape. We would always check the bedrooms when we arrived, looking to see if she had made noodles and had them drying on tea towels and table cloths stretched out over the bed. What wonderful memories this recipe brings back….we had this often and loved it. I haven’t made it since my mom passed away in 2001….I think tonight is a good night to make it for supper.
Black eyed peas for new year’s day
Bushas – buttery sugar cookies with apricot preserves in the middle. Drooooool!

I always look forward to our sweet potato and apple bake at Thanksgiving.

Haluski is popular with all of the Eastern European nationalities. My mom was Slovak and made this all the time.

It never feels like the holidays to me without having my Grandma’s pumpkin bread!

My favorite holiday family dish would have to be the mashed potatoes. Sure, you don’t think you can mash those wrong, but you can. Lots of heavy cream, butter and some fresh garlic really make these tatters.

Nothing says Christmas to me like my grandmom’s “ice cream” cookies. It’s the only time of year I have them!
Things get so busy during the holidays that quick and easy meals are my go-to. My very favorite, and usually our Christmas Eve meal, is a take on hunter’s cabbage. Cabbage, potatoes, onion, garlic and a sliced spicy smoked kielbasa or other sausage cooked in a huge pot on the stove top … sometimes we add kale or black-eyed peas … with a good drizzle of vinegar on mine at the table :)
Bacon and cabbage is a great combo and it would be really nice in a pasta like this!
my favorite family holiday dish is enchiladas, usually with chicken, cheese, and cabbage.
Yum. I want this TODAY!
This looks so Yummy I’m going to have to try this for sure. My favorite holiday dish is my Mom’s green rice which has rice, cheese, onions, broccoli & her secret ingredient (love).
My favorite dish is actually a dessert. It is called icebox dessert. It is from my great grandmother. It is a vanilla pudding dessert with a homemade crust that contains pecans. It also has cream cheese and cool whip. What more is there to love. lol
I hand cut homemade egg noodles. A family tradition that no one will let me give up
This looks so great, I wish I could find that pasta locally, I have had to order mine online-none of the mainstream grocery stores seem to carry it. Love it. We’ll be adding this to our menu for next week. Thank you for sharing!!
We’re from the South, so I always look forward to cornbread dressing.
My parents lived in Hungary for several years and my oldest sister was born there. But they were born in Greece, so I make more Greek food. But this is Hungarian comfort food if you ask me! I should make this for my own family!
My favorite dish is noodle kugel
