Old-school comfort: Just 5 ingredients. My hubby can’t stop eating it.

Variations & Tips
For picky eaters, try slicing the sausage into smaller half-moons or even bite-sized pieces so they get a little bit of everything in each forkful—sometimes that makes new foods feel less intimidating. You can also chop the cabbage a bit finer if big pieces tend to get pushed aside on little plates. If your family likes a bit of zip, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder (this keeps it to pantry-friendly, low-carb seasonings) or stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes for gentle heat. For extra richness, sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella over the top during the last 10 minutes of cooking and let it melt. To stretch the meal for a crowd, add another half-head of cabbage and a splash more cream, then bump the salt and pepper slightly. If you need to lighten it up a bit, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream; it won’t be quite as thick, but it will still be cozy and satisfying. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet the next day—just warm gently over low heat, adding a splash of cream or water if it gets too thick.
