Today's Recipe: Old-Fashioned Cowboy Sausage, Cabbage & Potatoes
Howdy, friends! 🤠❤️
Happy Wednesday, y'all! Welcome back to another delicious day of Chuckwagon Cooking with Agape Love!
Before we get started today, I want to take a moment to thank all our veterans for their service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country. May God bless each of you and your families. 🇺🇸❤️
Today, we're cooking up a good old-fashioned country supper that reminds me of simpler times, when our mommas and grandmas could take a few inexpensive ingredients and turn them into something wonderful!
We're making Old-Fashioned Cowboy Sausage, Cabbage & Potatoes!
Now, friends, this is the kind of meal I love sharing because it is affordable, filling, and full of down-home flavor.
And the best part? You can make the whole thing in one big cast-iron skillet!
40–45 minutes
4–6 servings
Budget-friendly one-skillet supper
🥘 Ingredients
1 lb fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
½ large head of green cabbage, chopped
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes
Optional: 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar for a little tang
🍳 Let's Get Cooking!
Step 1 — Get those potatoes started!
Heat vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Add diced potatoes and cook for approximately 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown.
Step 2 — Brown that sausage!
Add sliced smoked sausage to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned.
Step 3 — Add the onion and garlic.
Stir in sliced onion and cook until it begins to soften. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Step 4 — Bring on the cabbage!
Add chopped cabbage a handful at a time, stirring gently as it begins to wilt.
If your skillet is too full, let the first handful cook down before adding more.
Step 5 — Season it up!
Sprinkle in smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Pour in chicken broth and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
Step 6 — Let it simmer!
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for approximately 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and potatoes are tender.
For a little extra country flavor, stir in apple cider vinegar just before serving.
Step 7 — Supper's ready!
Serve hot with a big slice of homemade cornbread or warm buttered biscuits!
Now that's a hearty, old-fashioned country supper!
💰 Wednesday's Chuckwagon Money-Saving Tip
Friends, cabbage is one of those wonderful vegetables that can help stretch a grocery budget!
A single head of cabbage can be used in several meals.
Use half for today's skillet supper and save the rest for homemade coleslaw, vegetable soup, or fried cabbage later in the week.
You can also substitute leftover cooked potatoes to save time.
And here's another little country kitchen trick: If you have a small amount of leftover ham, add it instead of sausage for a completely different flavor!
❤️ Wednesday's Food for Thought — Remembering Those Who Have Served
Today is Veterans Day, and I want to take a moment to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation.
Freedom is something we should never take for granted.
Behind every uniform is a person with a story.
A mother or father.
A son or daughter.
A husband or wife.
A brother or sister.
Many have spent holidays away from their families, endured difficult circumstances, and carried burdens that others may never fully understand.
And today, we remember their service with gratitude.
Today's Scripture — KJV
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." — John 15:13
These words of Jesus speak of the greatest love, a love He perfectly demonstrated through His own sacrifice.
They also remind us of the importance of sacrificial love and caring for others.
As we gather around our tables today, let us remember to pray for our veterans, our active-duty military members, and the families who have sacrificed so much.
And let us not forget those who are struggling with physical wounds, emotional burdens, loneliness, or grief.
Sometimes a warm meal, a listening ear, a handwritten card, or a simple thank-you can mean more than we realize.
To every veteran reading this today: Thank you for your service. May God bless you and your family! 🇺🇸
🤠 Wednesday's Chuckwagon Question of the Day
Did your momma or grandma make fried cabbage and potatoes when you were growing up?
Did your family cook it with smoked sausage, bacon, ham, or just a little bacon grease?
And since today is Veterans Day, I'd love to invite you to share something special.
Do you have a veteran in your family you would like to honor?
Feel free to share their name, branch of service, or a special memory in the comments so we can thank them and honor their service together.
Wishing y'all a beautiful Wednesday filled with gratitude, good food, and God's many blessings!
