Dinner doesn't get much easier than this Cheesy Smoked Sausage and Cabbage Casserole. I guarantee it will go into heavy rotation in your home!
Noticing an abundance of low carb cabbage recipes on my site lately? Well, I typed in the wrong quantity on my online grocery order and ended up with a whole lotta cabbage. 5 heads to be exact. I do not waste food, so I went into crazy cabbage mode and created some pretty delicious new low carb cabbage recipes. I'm pretty sure my family doesn't want to see cabbage gracing their dinner plates any time soon. I took half of this casserole, vacuum sealed it and threw it in the freezer for another time.

I made this the other day and it was SO delicious!! I didn't have crushed tomatoes, so I used spaghetti sauce along with the diced tomatoes and it worked out great!
I have absolutely loved all the recipes I've tried of yours, and can't wait to try more!

This was absoulutely fabulous and so satisfying! What a great weeknight meal with tons of flavor. Normally when I try a recipe, I follow it as is but this time I used bacon grease, instead of butter, because I had forgot to pick up butter. This is going to be a regular in my rotation. Thank You for sharing your wonderful recipes!

My husband and I loved this dish and it’s easy. We used Cajun andouille sausage (a little more than called for) and added an orange bell pepper because we had it on hand. He asked me to put this in our meal rotation so it’s a keeper.

This dish is a household favorite! I’ve made it as the recipe is written, but I’ve also substituted the smoked sausage for andouille sausage. My Louisiana family prefers the andouille, but either way is delicious!

If I could give this dish 10 stars, I would! I made this meal for my family (none of who follow a keto lifestyle) and they all absolutely loved it. A huge win for me of course and honestly at least once a month, my husband requests it for dinner: In fact, I have the ingredients ready to go for dinner tomorrow (per his request).

Thank you so much. I am so happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to come back to the site and tell me about it. I really appreciate it
Mary says
Excellent! , I used leftover cacciatore sauce that had plenty of Italian seasoning. Followed the directions for sausage and cabbage. Definitely a keeper.

Great dish. I drained diced tomatoes and it was not watery. Will certainly make again.

Loved this casserole! Made it a couple nights ago and definitely will put it in our regular rotation. Leftovers heated up well also. It turned out a little watery but not enough to be a big deal - it appears the key there is simply to cook down the cabbage enough on the stove before transferring it to the casserole dish. I also added italian seasoning and browned the sausage pieces in the pot before adding the other ingredients.
