Dirty Cabbage
Dirty cabbage is a Cajun one-pan skillet with fried cabbage, ground beef, and andouille sausage. Low-carb, high-protein comfort food packed with flavor.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage chopped (about 2 lbs)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 12-14 oz andouille sausage diced
- 1 onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 2 celery stalks diced
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1-2 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Oil for cooking
- Optional: green onions hot sauce, splash of stock
Instructions
- Crisp the diced andouille in a large skillet; remove and set aside.
- Brown the ground beef in the same pan, season, and set aside. Leave a little fat.
- Cook the onion, bell peppers, and celery until softened; add garlic and cook 1 minute.
- Add cabbage, cumin, smoked paprika, and remaining Cajun seasoning. Cook down until wilted with some color, adding a splash of stock if needed.
- Return beef and andouille; stir and cook a few minutes to marry the flavors.
- Adjust seasoning, finish with green onions and hot sauce, and serve hot.
Notes
Crisp the sausage first to build the flavor base. Cook the cabbage over higher heat and cook off the moisture — don't boil it soggy. Keeps 3–4 days refrigerated and freezes well; great for meal prep.
