Cabbage and Sausage Saute | Easy Healthy One-Pot Meal

Jump to Recipe
Pin to Pinterest

Cabbage and sausage is one of the easiest and tastiest meals in my repertoire, and you can have in on the table in about 15 minutes! Cabbage and Sausage Recipe

With just a few simple ingredients, you can have my cabbage and sausage on the table within minutes. It’s easy, full of flavor and nutrition, and who doesn’t love a one-pot meal on busy nights?

In fact, cabbage and sausage just go together. Like peanut butter and chocolate or pasta and cheese. The combination is delicious, comforting, and meant to be. We like it with onions and garlic, but feel free to use frozen onions and garlic powder to make it even easier!

Chicken sausage is one of my favorite ingredients. It has a ton of flavor and can be used in a variety of dishes. For this recipe, I used the roasted garlic chicken sausage from Trader Joes, but I’ve changed it up countless times.

While cabbage and sausage is a typically a southern dish, experiment with sausage and seasonings for different flavor combinations. Chorizo, bell peppers, and smoked paprika, and cumin gives it a southwest twist, while Bratwurst, cooked potatoes, and caraway make it more German.

What you’ll need for cabbage and sausage saute:

  • Coleslaw mix
  • Onion
  • Frozen peas
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Butter
  • Dried thyme
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Cabbage and Sausage Ingredients

If you’re following any kind of low carb diet, you’ll want to make this on repeat. The sausage adds a TON of umami flavor and you won’t miss the carbs. It’s also gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo.

Tips for making cabbage and sausage:

  • Coleslaw mix is the secret ingredient for making this quick and easy.
  • Use any sausage you like. It’s a fun way to change it up.
  • Cook the cabbage to your liking. We like ours with a little crunch, so three minutes is enough.
  • To stretch the dish, mix with cooked egg noodles and adjust the butter, salt, and pepper.

Other things that would be good in this are green peppers, potatoes, or even a big handful of greens. I think Swiss chard or kale would be delicious and add even more nutrition. To keep this lower in carbs, we eat it just like this, but you could easily stretch it with noodles, serve it over rice, or make a side salad.

Serve this with:

  • Oven Roasted Broccoli
  • Three Bean Salad
  • Bailey’s & Guinness Ice Cream
  • Homemade Basil Pesto
  • Classic Tomato Bruschetta
