How to make Sausage and Cabbage

This incredibly easy recipe has very few steps and is simple to cook. Here’s a step-by-step guide for cooking this delicious keto meal.

Brown the sausage

Grab a large skillet and warm to medium heat. Add your breakfast sausage and break it apart a little bit. For this recipe, I prefer larger bites with the cabbage, so I only crumble the sausage into meatball-sized pieces. You can break it up into smaller bites if you prefer, but it’s a little more difficult to eat that way.

When the sausage is cooked through, drain if needed and soak up some of the grease in the skillet with a paper towel.

Add cabbage

Add chopped cabbage to the skillet and begin cooking. You may not be able to fit all of the cabbage at once–That’s okay! It will quickly cook down, allowing you to add more and more cabbage until it’s all in the skillet. Stir occasionally until the cabbage is tender.

Season

Once the cabbage is tender enough for your taste, add your butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir or toss to coat, then you’re ready to serve.

Serve

If you’d like to stretch this meal further, trying adding Parmesan Eggs or Easy Baked Eggs! They add a ton of flavor as well as a good dose of protein that will keep the family full. Bacon Keto Biscuits give your meal a great texture, and you can wash it all down with a Keto Coffee Frappuccino.

Store

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last 3-4 days.

Freeze

Cabbage is pretty hardy, so it can handle being frozen. If you’d like to freeze it, allow it to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. It should last about 6 months (but the earlier you eat it, the better the texture will be).

Reheat

For the best texture, I like to reheat this cabbage and sausage skillet by adding it to a skillet that’s preheated to medium heat. Allow it to sit for 30-60 seconds, then stir frequently until warmed throughout. You can also microwave this, but the cabbage can feel a bit mushy afterwards.
