Ingredients
- 1 package of sausage sliced (optional, can use chicken sausage)
- 2 tablespoons of butter or the render fat from the sausage
- 1 medium head of cabbage sliced
- 4 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese plus some for serving
- 2-4 ounces of cream cheese
Instructions
- Sauté the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the butter (or sausage render fat) over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and sauté until browned and cooked through.
- Add the Cabbage: Once the sausage is ready, stir in the sliced cabbage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still has a bit of crunch.
- Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat, then pour in the heavy whipping cream. Stir to combine. Add the cream cheese and grated parmesan cheese, mixing until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked sausage back into the skillet with the sauce and cabbage. Allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Serving: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Top with additional parmesan cheese if desired and serve warm.
