Fried cabbage and sausage is a simple yet filling meal that can be enjoyed on any day of the week. I like to top off the work week with this type of meal because it is so simple to toss together.
The ingredients are simple, the prep is easy, and you basically only have a pan to clean after your meal. If you’re using a cast iron skillet this means that all you’ll be doing is wiping it out with a cloth and maybe adding a splash or two of oil to keep that delightful seasoning intact. Easy peasy!
Ingredients
1 stick Land O Lakes butter or margarine
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
1 carrot, grated or thinly slices (optional)
1 small onion, chopped
1 pound Hormel smoked sausage
1 can (15 ounce) Hunt’s diced tomatoes or Rotel tomatoes (drain the juice)
1/2 teaspoon Morton salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick pepper
bay leaf (optional, remove before serving)
Instructions
Melt butter in a large skillet (I boiled the cabbage, onion and sausage for half hour).Add cabbage, onion, sausage and cook on medium high heat for about 5 minutes stirring to keep from sticking to the pan (I let it go to golden brown on the cabbage).Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.Makes about 8 servings.Only 4 g net carbs per serving.

Quick Tip: This recipe says you can use margarine but real butter is so much better.

I like to make fried cabbage and bacon its simpler I cut the bacon in small pieces and add onion then add cabbage and let it simmer
I make a recipe similar to this and I also use bacon pieces with the cabbage and onions. I always use kielbasi and serve it over bow tie noodles! Delish!!
serve over buttered egg noodles and you have a nice cabbage haluski dish with kielbasi!
Why would you boil the ingredients first? I think all the flavor would be gone.
My mother cooked cabbage. When fried, Never preboiled and fried in bacon grease if available, otherwise butter. Delicious!
This is a favorite in our house. I make it without the tomatoes, but will add them next time.
Fried mine with a little organic low sodium ckicken bone broth. No need to add a stick of butter, or any salt that way. Also added garlic, and red pepper.
Sounds very good. I agree with Mr. Barbetta. I’ll use chicken broth to cover, along with 1/4 stick of butter. When the broth cooks off and the cabbage is sautéed golden brown, then I’ll add the tomatoes with juice, a dash of sugar, a dash of Worcestershire, and simmer til Cabbage is soft. I love cabbage. I w/definitely be making this soon.
I would be grateful if you emailed this recipe to me I’d appreciate
I think serving over the noodles would be great. Trying it next week.
I make a similar dish… stick of butter in large dutch oven, 1 head chopped cabbage and 1 lb. kielbsa- sliced. Put on simmer and let it cook down stirring frequently. I then slice up potatoes with sliced onion and fry. Salt and pepper to taste then I put the potatoes and onions in the dutch oven with the cabbage and stir. Easy, yummy and good for you.
Family favorite. (Not processed food)
Thanks for the fried cabbage recipe. When I made it, my husband said it’s one of the best recipes I’ve tried out on him. I was glad you said to saute the sausage in the first step. That 5 minute saute makes a big difference in the taste. Your suggestion to fry this in a cast iron skillet is a good one, too. One tip 🙂 you said to serve this with French bread. This fried cabbage deserves crusty CORN BREAD baked in my OTHER cast iron skillet to make it a perfect meal. Thank you for posting great, and always easy, recipes.
This would be very tasty served with pierogis. They could be cooked right with the vegies or cooked ahead and added.
Pls send me the recipe
