Cabbage and Smoked Sausage

Cabbage and Smoked Sausage

Cabbage and Smoked Sausage is a delicious one dish meal with just 4 ingredients and can be on the table in 30 minutes or less.

Sometimes cabbage can be bland. Cabbage cooked in butter with onions and smoked sausage is anything but bland.

I love this meal because even with the chopping I can have it on the table in less than 30 minutes and cleanup after is super easy with just one skillet to wash.

Cabbage and Smoked Sausage is a great one dish meal and as leftovers for lunch the next day.

I always make plenty so I am assured yummy lunches to come.

A head of cabbage and a pack of sausage is also very inexpensive so that is another reason we make this frequently. 

Cabbage is such a healthy vegetable to eat often.

Cabbage and Smoked Sausage is so easy to cook in this electric skillet.  It washes up so easily and is big enough to hold plenty of dinner. It is an excellent tool for meal prepping large batches!

I love this combo. I boil sausage first while cooking cabbage and onion with about half cup cider vinegar and a quarter cup brown sugar and add 1 tsp. carraway seed. Thanks for reminding me of perfect comfort food.

Isn't it funny how things we really like just get forgotten for a while? :) Thanks for sharing how you do it!

I made this twice this week. Yesterday I added six cooked crumbled pieces of bacon and I browned my sausage(smoked pork and alligator sausage)first. Mid way I added a 1/2 cup of chicken stock to help it steam the cabbage a little more.

I made this, but I leave out the butter and add applesauce instead. Lots less calories.

That is a great way to reduce calories, Joan! I bet it is super delicious too! :)

Who would have guessed something so simple would be so good! Amazingly good just the way the recipe's written - no need to change a thing (although I did add a bit of hot sauce.) Will have this often!

I can't wait to try this, but I think 8 oz. of butter is 2 sticks. I think 4 oz. is one stick?? I bet the recipe only needs one stick, right? Also, I'm going to try this with a bagged cole slaw mix so I don't have to chop the cabbage!

Hi Susan, 8oz of butter is just one stick. Yes, one stick is plenty. :) Sure, bagged cole slaw mix would work. Just don't cook it long. It will cook very fast since it is chopped very thin. I hope you enjoy! :)
