Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 14 ounces sausage such as Andouille Sausage (Smoked sausage or Chorizo)
• 2 cups cabbage (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 cups bell pepper (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1/2 cup onion cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Method

 

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and brown on each side for approximately 6 minutes. Once browned, remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add the chopped cabbage, bell peppers, and onion to the skillet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of paprika and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, then sauté, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes until the vegetables have softened to your liking.
4. Return the sausage to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve hot and enjoy your easy skillet dinner!

Notes

– For extra flavor, use a smoked sausage variety like Andouille or Chorizo. The richness they bring is unparalleled.
– Don’t overcrowd the skillet when browning the sausage; work in batches if necessary to ensure a good sear.
– Cook vegetables until tender-crisp, not mushy. I like to listen for the gentle sizzle and look for a slight caramelization on the edges, ensuring they still have a nice bite.
– Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
