    This Keto Cheesy Cabbage Sausage Skillet recipe is sponsored by Kiolbassa Smoked Meats, thank you for supporting the brands that make delicious Cast Iron Keto recipes EPIC.

    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 our 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 we could have just done a recipe for polish smoked sausage with peppers and onions (definitely delish) but we wanted to do something a little more casserole centric.

    Why Kiolbassa Sausages?

    We know that we 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. We’re 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!

    We know we're definitely going to check out the chorizo next to keep our eggs company on our breakfast plate.

    Be sure to watch the video in the recipe card below for a step-by-step how-to!

      Hi I will be trying this recipe, but first I have a ? about my cast iron pan. The pan came pre-seasoned. After I use it I rinse it out but it rust every time. What am I doing wrong?.Thanks [email protected]@gmail,com

        Hi Kathy, I'm guessing that the seasoning isn't quite up to where it needs to be, are you drying it completely after rinsing? Any water left on the pan will cause it to rust. Have a look at our post which details how to season and care for cast iron - https://www.castironketo.net/blog/how-to-season-cast-iron

        If you wash a cast iron skillet and you want it to stay non stick and not rust. After you rinse it, put it back on the stove and heat it till it’s good and hot. Then put just a few drops of cooking oil in it and rub it around good till you know it’s good and rubbed in.

      I've always been under the impression that tomatoes in cast iron is a no no

        Not true! Your pan may need just a bit more love after making a tomato heavy dish but the amount of tomatoes in this recipe won't change a thing. Now, if you were making a tomato soup in a cast iron pot it would be ok but you'd need to make sure to rub it down with a good amount of oil after using it that way.

      Hi Alex!
      This dish was really good. My husband is a minimalist with words, but I actually got a “this is really good babe!” Unusual for him. Lol! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I’ll for sure be making this dish again.

      Made this tonight. Sam's Club had the Kiolbassa brand in beef only. A 46 oz. pkg. I used 3 links. Needed a little more cabbage. Didn't use a cast iron skillet. Very tasty. Husband had 2 helpings. Will make again with maybe a cheese sauce instead.

      My husband and I love this recipe! I add baby Bella mushrooms-we love mushrooms. We live in Florida now and originally from Chicago-so normally disappointed in store bought Polish sausage vs authentic. This brand is not authentic, but very good and not fatty or rubbery!

      Thanks for the recipe and introducing “Kilobassa” brand!

      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

      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 made this today, it was just the thing to brighten up a day of "social distancing!" I used a can of Rotell since that's what I had, and added shredded sharp cheddar with the Mozzarella. Truly one of the best keto dishes I've ever made, thanks for the recipe!

      Quick and easy. We have very large Ukrainian population where I live so there are a lot of kielbasa options 😋 I mixed two different brands to try and turned out great. This is my first cast iron keto recipe so I’ll definitely check out more!

      This was a delicious and easy dinner. I used garlic sausage, cabbage, red, green and yellow peppers and a little jalapeño because we like spice. I used a can of hot rotel because that’s what I had and also used mozzarella abs Monterey Jack. So good! I also broiled it for a few minutes after it cooked to get a nice brown topping. Thank you so much for sharing

        Hi Nancy - you'll need to use a classic baking dish in the oven or an oven-safe skillet like copper or stainless steel.
