In a large skillet brown the sausage over medium heat. For this dish I like to cook the sausage similar in size to small meatballs, verses breaking it up completely.

When the sausage is cooked through use a paper towel to remove some of the grease from the skillet.

Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet (you may beed to do this in batches as it cooks down) and cook, stirring occasionally until tender.

When the cabbage has reached your desired tenderness add the butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
