Ingredients
- Smoked sausage
- Green cabbage
- Heavy cream
- Worcestershire sauce
- Sugar
- Salt and pepper
How to make creamed sausage and cabbage
- Brown sausage in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, about 2-3 minutes or until the sausage is browned on the outside.
- Add cabbage and stir until the cabbage has softened a little, about 5 minutes.
- Add heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until heavy cream is reduced, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add salt and pepper. Enjoy 🙂
What do you serve it with?
Don't tell anyone but I can totally eat this just by itself! I also like to serve it with mashed potatoes or rice, something to soak up all of that creamy sauce and a side of veggies like Sautéed Yellow Squash or Sautéed Beet Greens.
What's the best sausage to use?
I like to use smoked sausage like kielbasa or andouille, but you can easily use whatever sausages you have in your fridge. If you don't use smoked sausage, be sure to cook it a little bit longer in the skillet until cooked through.
How long does it keep?
Once the creamed cabbage and sausage has cooled to room temperature, store it in an air-tight container in the fridge. It will keep well for 3-5 days.
It's best not to freeze it as the texture of the cabbage and cream will change significantly.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- You can use red cabbage in place of white in this recipe if that's what you have, or even use a mixture of both.
- I typically use 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper when making this recipe.
- I prefer to use heavy cream in this recipe, but you can use half and half if you prefer.
