Sauteed Cabbage and Sausage – a fuss-free family weeknight meal that is super quick and easy to prepare and budget friendly. Guaranteed to satisfy your soul and pocket! 

 

This dish is one of those dish that your entire family can agree to like. Kids would happily help themselves with this simple yet filling meal. It also proves that wonderful meal doesn’t need to be fancy or expensive at all. 

Whenever I have cabbage in my kitchen, I can’t help but always add sauteed or fried cabbage to my menu, like this Southern Fried Cabbage HERE. For the sake of those who recently join aboard, my Southern Fried Cabbage has been on the top 10 popular recipes on my blog for quite some time.

No doubt it was a hit since it is quick and newbie-friendly to make and not to mention how this dish is coated with bacon love.

But for this Sauteed Cabbage and Sausage, we’re skipping the bacon for today and replacing it instead with smoky sausages with the addition of chopped tomatoes. They do sound simple, but trust me, you’ll jump for joy on your first spoonful.

And my (not-so) secret seasoning is this homemade Creole Seasoning here which works like a magical powder.

You can actually leave it out, but it really does add more depth and flavor into this straightforward dish. I’ve tried cooking this without the creole seasoning and it was just plain bland. Good thing hubby eat more veggies than I do. Poor guy, he really needs to show it down to this throat.

For a complete Southern meal experience, you can pair this Sauteed Cabbage and Sausage with these Southern Hoe Cakes or this Hot Water Corn Bread. Happy eating!

 

Tips and Notes:

  1. If you’re cleaning up your fridge, you can also add potatoes and even bacon bits for more texture and flavor.

    In my regular rotation. I usually ma kk e it with my favorite kielbasa and use canned tomatoes for ease. I also use extra Creole seasoning and Worcestershire sauce just because. I LOVE this recipe!! Thank you for sharing.

    I made this for NY day dinner. I used anduoille sausage and a can of rotel (because I’m lazy). I have always avoided cabbage but this was delish! The flavor was deep with a great kick. Hubby loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    Love cabbage with tomatoes. I used Cajun style andouille sausage for a little smoky flavor with some heat. Great combo.

      Hi Annette. I have never tried this recipe with canned cabbage before. Using it will depend on the other ingredients present in the canned cabbage. You may have to adjust the seasoning in order to get this recipe right. Do let me know how it works out for you 🙂 .
