Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 14 oz Andouille Sausage sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 cup Yellow Onion chopped
  • 1 cup Green Bell Pepper chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 6 cups Green Cabbage roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese cubed and softened
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1.5 tsp Cajun Seasoning salt-free, or to taste
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet or Dutch Oven
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Knife

Method
 

  1. In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy on the edges. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set it aside.
  2. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir everything together, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the heavy cream and cubed cream cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce has slightly thickened. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine, allowing it to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Grate Your Own Cheese: For the smoothest sauce, always use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Control the Spice: Taste the sauce before serving and add more Cajun seasoning if you prefer more heat.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
