How to Make German Cabbage Skillet

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the sliced smoked sausage.
  3. Cook the sausage for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the sliced carrots and cabbage to the skillet.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of water.
  6. Stir well to combine, then cover the skillet with a lid.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the water has mostly evaporated. Stir occasionally and add more water (1-2 tablespoons at a time) if needed to prevent sticking or burning.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!
