Great recipe...I had this for the first time at a family party and loved it so much I came home to find the recipe. I cooked the cabbage and onion together and used way more butter then called for! Yummy but not very healthy - this will be a rare treat! Thanks for sharing

This is a really great recipe!! I have been making it for little over a year now and originally got the recipe from my boyfriend who's great grandparents brought the recipe from Czechoslovakia. I love it because it has such great flavor and is so simple to make!!

I love, love, love halushki...takes me back to my Western Pennsylvania / Ukrainian roots. However, my father and his family always added either bacon or "fatback" to this recipe. It makes it even more amazing!

I make this at home all the time only I fry up an entire package of bacon first then coat the cabbage in the renderings until it wilts. I finshes with the cooked egg noodles. I've never tried it with the onion or sourcream... Maybe next time!

A favorite of us Western PA folks! Around here its not holuski if its not dripping in butter. 1/4 cup is NOT enough, unless you want to be eating plain cooked noodles. Start with at least 1 stick of SALTED butter to saute the onions. Use a stock pot when doing this and add the cabbage a little at a time cause it won't cook down in a timely fashion if you add it all at once. Add the noodles into the cabbage and stir in pot and add more butter as needed until it's all coated to your liking. I usually use a total of 1 1/2 sticks to 2 sticks of salted butter. This is also how my Czech grandmother made it.

Awhile back - I made Bubble n Squeak from this site - which is essentially fried cabbage and ham and my family loved it. When I saw this - I was excited b/c adding noodles makes that cabbage "go farther." As written - I think it needs more seasonings - and although I added some onion/garlic powders to the cabbage saute (AND took the advice of adding kielbasa) - it still needed a little more "BAM!" I would make this again - it's very economical, super easy and a fast meal to put together and it IS tasty - but next time, I'll just be more liberal with the powders - OR maybe use more cabbage? I used a bag of the pre-cut coleslaw and it still seemed like the noodle to cabbage ratio was too high - remember cabbage seems to shrink by half once cooked...maybe I just need more cabbage and less noodles? Most of the taste is coming from the cabbage anyways. Either way - plan to keep to play around with. Thanks Kimberly!

This is a pretty traditional recipe, my mother-in-law was slovak, the family all grew up on holushki, still a special reunion trest! At home, we throw in sliced smoked sausage for a complete meal, Norma would never have allowed that, but it's easy and yummy! Definately saute the cabbage and add the onions, it adds a different dimension to the dish! We always use the kluski noodles or frozen Reames, they hold up well and add a better flavor than egg noodles to us.

I gave this a 4 star rating because I was the only one in my family who liked it. I am of Irish/German heritage and I thought it was a great comfort food. I used a red cabbage and added a pound of bulk italian sausage. I also used frozen egg noodles. I did put sour cream on my serving and thought it complimented it well. Just wish my husband and kids would have liked it. They ate sandwiches.

We LOVE Halushki(how we spell it)! This has been a staple in our house since before I was born- now my kids love it too! In order for this dish to taste SUPREME you have to fry the cabbage with the onion. In fact I put the cabbage in the pan for about 10 minutes before I add the onion. Let the cabbage lightly brown for the most tasty result. Egg noodles are great but you can use Farfalle, Rotini or Elbows. ENJOY this comfort food! We tend to use a lot of pepper and salt for this recipe as well as garlic powder.

Plain and simple comfort food. We're not Czech, but this is so good. I too sauteed the cabbage with the onions, and I fried up some turkey polish sausages and mixed it in with the noodles. I only seasoned with salt and pepper, but next time I might add some red pepper flakes or paprika. Anyway, thanks for the simple recipe, we really enjoyed it.

I love this classic Czech dish. So simple, cheap and comforting. However, I do agree that you should definitely sauté the cabbage along with the onion instead of steaming it separately. Also, the addition of a dollop of sour cream can't be beat. For a heartier dish with additional flavor, we also love to add some sliced kielbasa to sauté in with the onion and cabbage.

Good basic recipe. Easy to make, too. A little bland (although I did saute onions and cabagge together), but that comes with the cuisine. Overall, it's a good dish for those who don't like a lot of herbs/spices. I added tomatoes and bay leaf and let everything cook together, and, in my opinion, it was much better. But then, again, I'm not Czech! :)

Have made this for many years, but I always saute the onions and cabbage together until they are a bit carmelized and browned... more flavor, less work. The salt and pepper are key. The kind of food my Croatian mother cooked, simple but delicious and a great change of pace from potatoes or rice. YUM!

Very good! I added some red pepper and lite sour cream to the top of mine and it was awesome! Without the sour cream it was kind of bland. I also didn't add any onions, b/c my husband hates them, and I used smart balance margarine instead of butter.
