A flavorful and hearty side dish featuring sautéed cabbage, smoked sausage, and a touch of sweetness.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Save the rendered bacon fat for added flavor in the next steps.
In the same skillet, sauté the smoked sausage slices until browned, then remove and set aside.
Ensure the sausage slices are evenly browned for the best flavor.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from burning.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions. Cook until the cabbage begins to soften.
Cover the skillet for a few minutes to speed up the cooking process.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the cabbage mixture and stir well. Add the cooked bacon and sausage back to the skillet.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed at this stage.
Stir in the butter until melted and evenly distributed.
Butter adds a rich flavor and glossy finish to the dish.
Serve the dish warm as a side or over rice for a complete meal.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
