Cabbage, Potato and Smoked Sausage Skillet

After a hard day of working in the yard, the BK was ready for a hearty, nourishing dinner. Sausage and cabbage to the rescue!! We came across some Neese’s Smoked Sausage at Town and Country Meat & Produce Market a while ago, and I decided to pull them from the freezer and use them with some cabbage and potatoes that I had on hand. I do recommend that you cut the potatoes in half length-wise before slicing — much easier when trying to incorporate and cook with the other ingredients. I also made some other changes to the original recipe before I shared it here. I reduced the number of potatoes from three to two and used a Granny Smith apple to give more flavor. I also gave a tweak to the seasonings. Instead of using a dash of seasoned salt, I used a generous teaspoon of Emeril’s Essence (Cajun seasoning) and added a teaspoon of dill. And, I substituted vegetable broth since I had some left over from the Linguine with Zucchini, Tomato, and Crab from earlier in the week. A very satisfying meal indeed!
