Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 14 ounces Andouille Sausage sliced
- 6 tbsp Butter divided (2 tbsp for onions, 4 tbsp for sauce)
- 1/2 Onion chopped (yellow or white)
- 3 tsp Cajun Seasoning adjust to heat preference
- 5 cups Chopped Cabbage green cabbage works best
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream full-fat
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese freshly grated preferred
Instructions
- Sear the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced andouille sausage and sear until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes total. Remove and set aside. Drain excess fat if needed, leaving a thin coating.
- Cook the Onions: Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Once melted and foaming, add chopped onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Cabbage and Butter: Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and all chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir to coat cabbage with butter. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over the mixture and toss well to distribute evenly.
- Create the Alfredo Sauce: Pour in heavy whipping cream and stir to combine. Cover skillet with lid and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender but still has a slight bite.
- Add Parmesan and Thicken: Remove lid and add grated parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until cheese melts completely. Let simmer uncovered for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Combine and Serve: Return browned sausage to skillet. Stir to distribute evenly and heat through for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.
Notes
Storage: Store in airtight containers in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Sauce will solidify when cold but melts beautifully when reheated.
Reheating: Microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through, or reheat on stovetop over medium-low heat. Add a splash of cream if sauce is too thick.
Sausage Substitutions: Use kielbasa for milder flavor, Italian sausage, or chorizo for extra heat. Ensure sausage is fully cooked before slicing.
Heat Level: Start with 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning and adjust to taste. For milder version, use 2 teaspoons. For extra spice, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Cabbage Prep: Remove tough core before chopping. Cut into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Low-Carb Alternatives: Substitute cabbage with shirataki noodles, palmini noodles, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles (squeeze dry first).
