Braised Cabbage with Potatoes and Smoked Sausages

This Braised Cabbage with Potatoes and Smoked Sausages is the kind of down home dish that’s tummy filling and simple to prepare. Sweet green cabbage is braised in bacon drippings then cooked with slices of smoked sausage and tender Yukon Gold potatoes. This braised cabbage is just the kind of skillet meal you make not because it’s fancy, but because it’s just good eating.

This braised cabbage skillet is the kind of dish that my Mom and Gramma’s would make. They would certainly have started with homegrown cabbage braised with their favorite seasoning of choice, smoked bacon. It makes a great main dish accompaniment to a pan of buttered cornbread or a bowl of pinto beans, or both. It’s filled with the comforting downhome flavors that we’ve all come to love.

Cabbage is often overlooked when it comes to a great option for a main course meal. It’ inexpensive and filling, a terrific combination. When serving this braised cabbage, the amount of servings can vary depending on the appetites of those you’re serving. As a rule of thumb, as a side dish you may yield 6 servings and as a main dish 3-4. It proves that food doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive to be good and family pleasing. I would put this dish in the category of honest eats, that satisfy the soul. Another classic cabbage dish you may like is this Cabbage Roll Casserole from Comfortable Food.
