    Quick and easy sausage and cabbage recipe, homemade with simple ingredients in one pot over stovetop in 30 minutes. Loaded with shredded red cabbage, onions, garlic and kielbasa sausage.

    I love the color of the red cabbage in this dish. It takes a simple, yet flavorful dish, and makes it beautiful too. It's so easy and quick to make that even if you forget till the last minute to make dinner, you can still pull this dish off. This Oven Roasted Vegetable and Sausage (One Pan) dish is also just as quick and filling, so make sure to add it to your weekly menu.

    What to serve with fried sausage and cabbage recipe?

    This is a complete meal in and of itself so you can add something as simple as applesauce or fresh fruit, or you can pair it with one of your favorite soups. Try my Carrot Ginger Soup (One Pot), Sweet Potato Soup (One Pot), or Roasted Red Pepper Soup (One Pot).

    A starch such as potatoes would also make a great addition to this meal. Serve any of following: Oven Roasted Potatoes (One Pan), Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipe (One Pot), or Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes (One Pan).

    Tips and Techniques

    Cook the sausage before the cabbage- This allows you to fry the cabbage in the sausage oil and adds so much rich flavor to this dish.

    What cabbage to use? I used red cabbage for the beautiful color, but you can you use green if you prefer it.

    Use a non-stick pan- This prevents the sausage from sticking and ripping the pieces of it.

    Do I have to use liquid smoke? I love the smoky flavor it adds! You can find it in a bottle at most grocery stores, but if you don't have it or prefer it, fell free to leave it out.

    What sausage to use? Kielbasa is traditionally used, but there are different kinds such as pork, turkey, beef or a combination of the 3. Feel free to use whatever you prefer.

    Saute the sausage on both sides- This little crisp will add so much texture to this dish so don't skip this step.
