Southern Fried Cabbage With Sausage

from food.com

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons bacon fat
  • 1 small green cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2-3/4 lb smoked sausage, sliced (I like Conecuh, Original)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained (I like Hunt's Petite Diced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tony Chachere's Seasoning, to taste (optional)
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Chop/slice the sausage, cabbage, and onion.

  2. 2

    In a large non-stick skillet, pre-cook the sliced sausage about 3 minutes to render some of the fat out. Remove sausage from skillet and drain on paper towels if needed. Set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add cabbage and onion and cook and stir on medium-high for about 5 minutes, until cabbage starts to wilt.

  4. 4

    Add remaining ingredients, and the sausage.

  5. 5

    Cover the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Uncover, and finish cooking until cabbage is desired tenderness and most of liquid has been reduced.
