- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (Optional.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the sausage into coins or half moons.
- Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, then scoop it out to a plate.
- Add butter or bacon grease to the skillet, then sauté the onion for a few minutes.
- Add the cabbage and a pinch of salt, toss, and cover for a few minutes.
