Cabbage and sausage are a perfect match and you’re going to love how this casserole will turn out with a new twist for a perfect low-carb meal.
Cabbage and sausage are truly a perfect match and a wonderful combination of flavors. This dish highlights everything delicious about these two ingredients without adding too much more to the dish. It’s cabbage and sausage in their simplest most flavorful state.
And what makes this recipe even better is this skillet meal is easy to throw together making it perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
Nothing special is required to make this recipe. Starting with cabbage, alfredo sauce in a jar, salt and pepper to taste, parmesan cheese, sausage, onions, and garlic.
This meal will be done before you know it.
This recipe uses the large long-link Kielbasa sausage. While raw cabbage has very little flavor on its own, cooked cabbage tastes sweeter and it picks up additional flavors from the foods you cook with it, like sausage.
Sausage Tip
When it comes to choosing sausage, I’ve always used smoked turkey Kielbasa sausage which you can find in most stores. The turkey version has a wonderful flavor without all the fat. There are so many different flavors out there to choose from for your taste.
It’s a must to pan-fry the sausage first. Once it’s browned a bit on both sides, add the onions and fry until they are soft. Then stir in the garlic but don’t fry it very long or the garlic will burn.
There are many varieties to this recipe. You could have this recipe without the alfredo sauce and just pan-fry everything. Add a bit of Tabasco sauce for some heat. The ideas are endless and low carb too! I’ve also just served the onions, garlic, and sausage with a veggie.
Low Carb Sausage & Cabbage Casserole
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb kielbasa smoked sausage
- 1 jar alfredo sauce
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, finely minced
- 1 head cabbage, chopped
- salt & pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Layer chopped cabbage in a 13 x 11 pan. Layer jar alfredo sauce on top. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add shredded parmeson cheese on top.
- Slice your sausage into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat pan with 1 tsp of olive oil and add sausage. Let brown on both sides and add chopped onion. When onions are soft add garlic and heat for just a couple of minutes. Take off the heat and then layer on top of cabbage mixture.
- Add another layer of shredded parmesan cheese on top of cabbage mixture.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. If you like for the cheese to be a bit brown, take off foil and broil just for a few minutes.

This sounds amazing and I think I have everything here already.
Maybe this is a way I can get myself to eat more cabbage! I am sure you are right in that cooked cabbage has a lot more flavor… and, this dish looks so delicious!
