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.

Loved this! Made a half recipe and sauteed in a Dutch oven. Put the Dutch oven in the oven. Great one pan dinner!

Tried this today. Though I was skeptical about the cabbage + cheese combination, I have to say it turned out very good. My sausage wasn't very smokey, so I added some powdered smoked paprika. It was really good - hearty, warming, and satisfying. Thanks for the recipe!
Crystal says
I'll be trying this tonight! Thank you 🙂

Loved this recipe !
I know it's a keeper when my husband goes back for seconds.
Thanks for a wonderful recipe. Will be making this again !

Made this tonight and it was loved by all. I will say I put in Italian Seasoning and called it "Pizza Sausage Casserole"--and that worked/distracted from the cabbage. 🙂 I also doubled the meat and put it in a large pan (bigger then 9x13) so we could have a bigger "cheese to filling ratio". Maybe that's why everyone liked it so much! 😉 Thanks for a great lower cost recipe for Low-Carb, we have found it REALLY can add up!!

This! This sounds delish! I just added Italian seasonings and lots of oregano, plus added more smoked sausage. Smells heavenly!!
Brandy says
Tried this recipe last night. Followed the instructions exactly. I have to say, don't waste your ingredients., or your time making this . It was not good. After we each ate one meager serving, I fed the rest to our chickens.
SW says
Could/Would you please provide a little more info on why this wasn't good? Was it bland, mushy, too much like soup, too cabbage-y, etc.? The recipes I've made from this site have been great, so I'm curious why this wasn't good. If each of you had just a "meager" serving, I'm thinking maybe you weren't too keen on the recipe to begin with.

How many servings does your Smoked Sausage & Cabbage Casserole make? It looks fabulous! I am just starting out my Ketogenic journey and your help would be SOOOOOOO appreciated!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
The servings and nutritional information are included in the post. They can be easily overlooked though. 8 servings. Pretty good size servings too. Enjoy!
