How to Make Cabbage and Noodles with Sausage
Simple ingredients and two pots. One pan to cook and one pot to boil.
First, take a large nonstick pot/pan. Make sure it is deep because you are going to fill it with all these delicious ingredients.
Melt some butter over medium heat and add in the sausage links. Cook the sausage links until browned then remove from pan and set aside. Melt more butter and add in diced onions and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add chopped cabbage to the pan. And toss mixing the onions, cabbage, and butter together. Once the cabbage mixture is tossed and coated with butter cover with a lid.
Meanwhile, boil a pot of water and cook egg noodles per their package instructions. Don’t overcook it. You don’t want soggy noodles messing up this recipe. Once noodles are done drain in a colander and add to your pan. Slice sausages into coins and add your sliced sausage to the pan and toss with tongs.
Cover and cook for a few more minutes until sausage is cooked through.
Once the sausage is no longer pink in the center this dish is ready to serve!

Recipe Tips for Fried Cabbage and Noodles

- You want a little caramelization on the cabbage and onions. It brings out a sweet flavor to the cabbage. A perfect flavorful caramelization on the fried cabbage is when the edges of the cabbage start to turn brown.
- The recipe uses a total of 4 tablespoons of butter. If you feel like your Haluski with Italian Sausage is too dry you can add more butter.
