How to make sausage and cabbage skillet?
First, wash and dry the cabbage. After that, core it and either shred it or slice it into thin ribbons.
Next, slice the Kielbasa sausage into 1/4-inch pieces as well. Peel, core and slice the apples and peel and dice the onions.
Now, with the prep work out of the way, it’s time to heat a large skillet over low-medium heat.
Once the pan is warm, add 1-teaspoon of oil and the sausage. Let the meat brown for about 6-minutes.
When the sausage starts to crisp, toss in the onions. Allow the mixture to cook for about 4-minutes.
Then, add the rest of the oil, the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring the ingredients as they cook for another 5-minutes.
Afterward, toss in the apple slices and allow the mixture to cook for another 4-minutes.
Last, turn off the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Also, do a quick taste test and add more salt and pepper if needed.
That’s it, your sausage and cabbage skillet recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best 🙂
Oh, any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container, in your fridge, for up to 3-days.
Recipe Tips:
- You can use ground sausage in this recipe. However, the meat will need to cook until it’s done (more than 6-minutes).
- The apples and apple cider vinegar are optional. Leave them out if you prefer.
- A time-saving tip is buy pre-shredded cabbage and pre-sliced apples. Stores like Publix often carry these options.
