Smothered cabbage with sausage turns a head of cabbage into a hearty one-pan dinner. Smoked sausage adds richness while onion, garlic, broth, and slow skillet cooking soften the cabbage into a savory, comforting meal.

The skillet transformation—from browned sausage to tender cabbage—is also a natural sequence for short-form food content.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

  • Large deep skillet or Dutch oven
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

ShiMuv Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 medium green cabbage, chopped
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
Cabbage, smoked sausage, onion, garlic, broth, butter, and seasonings arranged beside a skillet.

How to Make It

  1. Brown the sliced sausage in a large skillet, then transfer it to a plate.
  2. Add butter or oil and cook the onion until softened. Add garlic and stir briefly.
  3. Add cabbage, broth, paprika, and pepper. Toss well.
  4. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
  5. Return the sausage to the skillet, simmer uncovered a few minutes, taste for salt, and serve hot.

Recipe tip: Add the sausage back near the end so it keeps its browned texture instead of becoming soft during the cabbage’s longer cook time.
