One Pot Dinner with Sausage, Cabbage, AND Potatoes
When I saw the name of this recipe, I was intrigued and just HAD to try it. I tweaked a couple ingredients and steps, but it’s a DEFINITE winner for dinner! Give it a try. (don’t be intimidated by the list of ingredients or steps…it’s easier than it seems!)
INGREDIENTS
1 pound (16 ounces) smoked sausage, sliced
5 slices thick bacon, chopped
1 small shallot, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
½ TBS EACH: dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder
½ tsp EACH onion powder, dried thyme
1 and ½ cups chicken stock, separated
1 bag chopped cabbage
1 cup diced baby carrots
4 cups red potatoes, quartered
1-2 TBS syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by coining then halving the sausage and placing into a large heavy-bottomed pot
Cut the raw bacon into little pieces and add in with the sausage
In a small bowl, toss together the seasonings: basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme
To the pot (over medium heat), add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes
Add in the garlic and half of the seasoning mix, stir
Add in 1/2 cup stock
Add in the chopped cabbage and remaining 1 cup stock, stir
Cover the pot and increase heat to medium-high
Let cook, covered, stirring occasionally for 8-10 minutes (cabbage should be cooked down and tender
Remove the lid and then directly on top of the cabbage, place the quartered red potatoes, and halved baby carrots
Add the remaining seasoning mix on top and do not stir
Cover (still medium-high heat) and let cook for 18-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender
Check occasionally and if needed, add up to 1/2 cup additional stock to keep from burning
Once potatoes and carrots are fork tender, drizzle with syrup
Cover and let steam another 5 minutes
