Ingredients:
4 sausages (your choice of pork, chicken, or turkey)
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a mix of your choice)
1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tsp paprika (optional)
1/4 tsp ground mustard (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Cook the Sausage:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausages until browned and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove from the pan and slice into rounds.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened.
Add the chopped cabbage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage starts to soften.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream (or cream cheese), milk, and a pinch of salt, black pepper, paprika, and mustard (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Bake:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large baking dish, combine the cooked sausage slices and sautéed cabbage mixture.
Pour the sauce over the top and mix gently to combine.
Add Cheese and Bake:
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
