Sausage and Cabbage

Image
A simple quick meal that only uses 3 ingredients! Perfect when short on time and short on ingredients.  This is also great for people on a high fat, low carb diet! And also, it tastes delicious!  You will need: Butter 1/2 a head of cabbage  1 pound of sausage So far I have used brats, kielbasa, pork sausage, chicken sausage My favorite is with brats and kielbasa When buying your meat you want to make sure it is uncured and nitrate and nitrite free Also, if you can, buy organic grass fed meat it tastes the best and is so good for you Preheat oven to 350 F  Butter the bottom and sides of your 13x9 baking dish Dice up the cabbage and add it to the baking dish Pour in 2 tablespoons of water  Cut up the sausage and layer on top of the cabbage  Cover with aluminum foil or lid and place in the preheated oven  Bake for 30 minutes with the cover on Then bake for another 10 minutes with the cover removed to brown the top I enjoy this meal j
