Quick and Easy Weeknight Dinner

Quick and easy sausage and cabbage skillet – it has a handful of ingredients but the flavors are amazing! My husband and 2-year-old son love this meal. Prep work is minimal and it goes from the fridge to the table in about 40 minutes. And I love that it’s made in one pan – easy and quick clean up. I am using here my favorite cast iron skillet from Staub. It’s beautiful, durable and easy to clean.

Cabbage and Sausage – Healthy One Pot Dinner

This cabbage and sausage recipe is naturally gluten-free, paleo, whole30 and low-carb. It’s a great recipe for people on any diet because it keeps you full without crashing. It’s hearty and flavorful meal everyone at the table will enjoy.

You can also swap the smoked Polska Kielbasa I used in this cabbage and smoked sausage recipe with another meat – chicken or turkey sausage if that is what you prefer.

What Type of Sausage to Use

Other delicious alternatives to the smoked sausage used in the pan-fried cabbage and sausage recipe are andouille sausage (if you like spicy), German sausages, or bratwurst. And of course, as I mentioned above, you can also use chicken, turkey, or beef-style smoked sausages sliced into thin rounds.

    Yum! I am a sucker for sausages served with cabbage. Pinning it to try on the weekend.

    This looks so hearty and filling. I love both cabbage and sausages! Smoked Sausage or Polish Sausage would be great in this. I love andouille but having lived in Lousiana I kind of prefer it for other foods. However, I am also excited to try this with the Bratwurst you suggested or the smoked sausage. I bet my kids would devour this in a heartbeat. Saving to make later.
