Ingredients
- beef sausage
- green cabbage
- cheddar cheese
- mozzarella cheese
- onion
- garlic
- vegetable broth
- black pepper
- paprika
- Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by slicing the beef sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop half a head of cabbage into thin strips, dice one onion, and mince two cloves of garlic.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and toss in the sausage pieces. Cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent. Then, add the chopped cabbage and stir well.
- Season the Cabbage: Sprinkle in your black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook the cabbage for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s softened but still has a bit of crunch.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Pour in one cup of vegetable broth and mix everything together, allowing it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Add Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the sausage and cabbage mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve your Cheesy Sausage and Cabbage Skillet warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
