Oven-Baked Sausage and Cabbage Skillet

Looking for a cozy, fuss-free dinner that fills you up? This Oven-Baked Sausage and Cabbage Skillet is exactly what you need. It's a simple, comforting dish with savory sausage and tender, sweet cabbage, all cooked together in one pan. Minimal cleanup, maximum flavor!

Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa or similar), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 small head green cabbage (about 1.5 lbs), cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, sliced onion, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the cabbage mixture to a large oven-safe skillet or a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it out in an even layer.

  4. Step 4

    Nestle the sliced sausage rounds among the cabbage and onion. Pour the chicken broth or water over the vegetables.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, and the sausage is heated through. Stir halfway through cooking for more even browning.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill or parsley if desired. Great on its own or with a side of crusty bread!

Tips

  • Use different types of sausage like chicken sausage or a spicy smoked sausage for variety.
  • A drizzle of apple cider vinegar at the end can brighten up the flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary to ensure everything browns instead of steams.
