In the mood for something easy and delicious? Who isn’t? Well look no further, this Keto Cheesy Cabbage Sausage Skillet is a breeze to make! It’s so tasty and best of all even easier to clean up. Personally, this is my perfect keto meal. That’s because it has tons of veggies, a little bit of cheese, and high-quality Kiolbassa sausages.
The sausage really is the star of the dish and I could have just done a recipe for polish smoked sausage with peppers and onions. However, with the big winter storm that just passed through and dumped a foot or so of snow, which is a huge deal in the South, we’ve been snowed in and watching a lot of Chopped re-runs so I wanted to elevate the dish and make something special.
(Sidebar: My childhood vacations usually included a trip to Dollywood and every time I smell peppers and onions being sautéed with sausage I’m immediately taken back there in vivid detail. I remember waiting in line for the Blazing Fury ride wearing my blue jean cargo shorts with a wind up disposable camera in one of the many pockets, my American Eagle shirt which included some sort of double entendre I didn’t quite understand, and my faithful Pillsbury bough boy hat. All while my mom or dad would be in line with me wearing a poncho because they didn’t want to get wet.)
Why Kiolbassa Sausages?
Anyways, back to the point. I don’t even want to know what might have been in those Dollywood sausages but I know I can trust Kiolbassa to be the highest quality of meat. It’s completely free from preservatives, gluten, MSG, fillers, and cereals. That’s why we use their product in lots of our recipes, like this Keto Pierogi Sausage Skillet.
In fact, the good folks at Kiolbassa make such a fantastic product they stand behind it 100%. If it’s not the best sausage you’ve ever eaten, you get your money back. Those are strong words in today’s world. I’m guessing they don’t have very many complaints. They’ve been hand-crafting a variety of sausages and bacon since Harry S. Truman was in office. They do it as good or better than anybody so go ahead and give this recipe and Kiolbassa a try!
I know I’m definitely going to check out the chorizo next to keep my eggs company on my breakfast plate.

Keto Cheesy Cabbage Sausage Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 13-oz package Kiolbassa Roasted Garlic Smoked Sausage
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 white onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 small head cabbage cored and chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Add in the tomatoes and top with cheese. Transfer to oven for 10 minutes or just until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Serve immediately.
Good, but I think I may add red pepper and sliced jalapenos next time. Didn’t have any garlic and just used garlic powder, so maybe thrash why it was a bit bland to me
I made this a bit differently, I’m not a fan of cooked cabbage so I used broccoli for the greens and added mushrooms. Came out fantastically thanks for the idea!
What is the suggested serving size?
Can it be frozen in smaller containers
Yes!
Alex, I love all of your keto recipes and I can’t wait to give this one a try!!!
Delicious! Used mild verde salsa instead of the bell pepper because it was what we had. My one year old loved the whole thing, especially the cooked cabbage mixed with the sausage.
I loved this. So good!
I added a little bit of taco seasoning and it came out absolutely delicious! Very pleased with this recipe, looks like it’ll be a staple in our house!!
