You know, sometimes you just need some Southern comfort food like this Smothered Cabbage. Sometimes you just want the foods you grew up with like beans and cornbread! I probably should cook like this more because I absolutely love it, but Allen really doesn’t love this food as much as his meat and potatoes, but I sneak it in from time to time and he always thinks its delicious.
Easy, Delicious Smothered Cabbage with Potatoes and Smoked Sausage
I cooked this dish with Eckridge Beef Smoked Sausage https://www.heb.com/product-detail/eckrich-beef-smoked-sausage-family-pack/765512. I had this brand on hand, but you can use any good smoked sausage of your choice. I sliced new potatoes with the skin on, I added lots of onions, and cooked this in really very little oil with a little butter in a non stick skillet. You could add squash to this dish, and okra would be a great addition. I served my Macoroni and tomatoes with this and some spicy pinto beans and cornbread! Both of these recipes are also on the blog, but here is the Macaroni and Tomatoes recipe that my mother and grandmother made growing up! Delicious!

Easy, Delicious Smothered Cabbage with Potatoes and Smoked Sausage
Here’s the recipe! Enjoy!
Smothered Cabbage with Potatoes and Smoked Sausage
Ingredients
- 1/2 head large green cabbage or one whole small
- 1/2 onion, sliced or diced
- 3-4 new potatoes, skin on and sliced
- 7 oz Smoked Sausage, sliced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter, two for cooking and 1 for finishing
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the cabbage in half, take out the core and slice. Sliced your potatoes in about in little less than 1/2 inch slices, about a quarter inch. Slice your onions or chop them, then slice your smoked sausage in 1/2 inch pieces
- Heat your oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add your potatoes and onions and cook on medium high heat until your potatoes begin to brown a little. Turn them and reduce the heat, add a lid and turn your heat to low and cook for a few minutes just until the potatoes start to soften a little, but not done. Increase your heat and add your cabbage and smoked sausage and cook turning as all the ingredients brown a little. After a few minutes, lower the heat, cover and let the cabbage smother a little until soft. Then again, raised your heat, remove the lid, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook until the ingredients have browned a little and are fork tender. Add a pat of butter just to bring everything together. Enjoy!!
