Let’s talk about the sausage and vegetables that go into our low carb cabbage and sausage skillet!

You have a variety of options for the kind of sausage you use in this dish. You will want to use a cooked sausage, either a sausage ring or sausage links. The carb count on sausage can vary depending on how the sausage is prepared and what ingredients are added to it, so you’ll want to check your nutrition labels when buying. I used all-beef uncured Polish sausage links for my dish, which contained no added sugar. You can use a low carb kielbasa or any cooked beef, chicken, or pork sausage, or a sausage with a combination of beef and pork for your dish. You could even use elk or venison sausage. I love the color combination of red and green peppers, but you can use any color or color combination you’d like. I used a yellow onion; but a white onion would be a good choice too.

Is cabbage a good keto food choice?

Cabbage is an awesome keto food option. It is a low-calorie food that is also low in carbs. One cup of chopped green cabbage contains about 3 net grams of carbs and one cup of chopped red cabbage contains about 5 net grams. Cabbage also provides us with some important nutrients. It provides a source of calcium, folate, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins C and K. It’s also a good source of fiber. Another great thing about cabbage is the variety of ways you can incorporate it into keto dishes. You can use raw cabbage, chopped or shredded, in coleslaws and salads. But it can also be boiled, braised, grilled, roasted, sauteed, or steamed. You can use cabbage in main dishes such as this skillet, or you can make some awesome side dishes with it. It also makes a great addition to casseroles and soups!
