Pressure cook ham hocks in 5 cups water for about 15min. Once cooled enough to handle, shred the meat from the bone. Put the meat back in the pot. (you can also buy the pre-cooked cubed ham which might taste as good with much less work)
Cut sausage to bite size, fry up separately, then add into the mix.
Microwave the carrots & potato's in the microwave, then add to the mix.
Cook up the macaroni, then add to the mix.
After everything is added together, then add the cabbage and let sit for about 15minutes before serving. Lots of noodles so rice with this dish is an option.
