Hearty Cabbage Scramble Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 small head of cabbage, shredded ($.88)
- 1/2 pound sausage, crumbled ($2.75)
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, diced ($1.20, assuming 4 potatoes from a 10lb bag)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped ($.50)
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped (already had)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: your favorite hot sauce or spices for extra flavor
Instructions:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the bacon grease.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté the cabbage until it becomes tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- While the cabbage is cooking, in a separate skillet, cook the crumbled sausage until it’s browned and cooked through. Once cooked, set it aside.
- In the same skillet used for the sausage, add a bit more bacon grease or oil if needed. Sauté the diced potatoes and chopped onions until the potatoes are golden and the onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine the cooked cabbage, sausage, and potato-onion mixture in the larger skillet. Mix everything together, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning to your liking and add optional spices or hot sauce if desired.
- Continue to sauté the mixture over medium heat for an additional 5-7 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Serve your Hearty Cabbage Scramble Delight hot, garnished with the crispy bacon bits. Enjoy this comforting and budget-friendly meal that makes plenty to share or save for leftovers!
Note: Feel free to get creative and add other vegetables, herbs, or spices to tailor the recipe to your taste preferences
