www.eatcraveketo.com

Quick one pan meal? YES, PLEASE!!!

Be sure to brown the sausage nicely for extra flavor!

Servings 4

Ingredients

12oz Hillshire Farms Lite Polska Kielbasa (I like this because I couldn’t decide which kielbasa I wanted, turkey, Pork, or beef. This had all three!!!)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 yellow onion

2 cloves garlic

4 cups chopped cabbage

A pinch of thyme

Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until sausage is deeply browned on both sides, about 6 minutes.

Add the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook 3 more minutes to soften onions.

Add the cabbage to the skillet and stir to coat it with the onion, garlic kielbasa mixture.

After a few minutes add the butter in pieces to the skillet and stir to coat.

Sprinkle on a little more salt and pepper to taste

Cook the cabbage, stirring constantly, until it becomes tender, about 10 minutes.

Serve immediately.

One Pot Wonder!

I made a huge pot of Easy Un-Rolled Cabbage soup that I will have for the rest of the week for lunch. BTW, I used brussel sprouts instead of cabbage because I had some that I didn't use last week. I guess you can say that I ROLLED with it!! HA HA

I threw some chicken and broccoli in the slow cooker for dinner tonight (Recipe coming soon!). My house smells amazing!!

Here’s the Recipe!!
Easy UnRolled Cabbage Roll Soup 
Are you a cabbage roll fan but hate all the work involved to make them? If so, you need to try this easy unstuffed cabbage soup recipe.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 small onion
3-4 cloves garlic
2 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces each) San Marzano (Look at the labels. Get the lowest carb possible)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
32 ounces chicken broth A great way to get some Bone Broth in here!
1 head cabbage sliced into strips (Or 2 cups cut up brussel sprouts)
Instructions
In a large stockpot, saute the beef until cooked through. I drain the meat at this point. 
Return the meat to the pot, and add in the onion and garlic. Saute for a few minutes.
Add the tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, and broth, and bring to a boil. 
Add in the cabbage strips , stir and cover.
The soup is ready to eat as soon as the cabbage cooks to your desired tenderness. 

*If using a slow cooker you can cut the cabbage, and lay it in the bottom. Add beef mixture and tomatoes. Cover and cook on low. 

Isn’t she LOVELY!!!???
