Super fast and easy to prepare after a long workday or shuttling our kid to and from evening hockey practice, this dish is a classic go-to dinner.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> It\u2019s so simple, requires one pan, and we usually have all three ingredients on hand. The flavorful, filling dinner is done in 10 minutes, and dish clean-up is swift. Leftovers are heat-and-eat delicious the next day.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-why-i-love-this-easy-dinner\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block allrecipes-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Why I Love This Easy Dinner <\/span> <\/h2>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li><strong>It\u2019s a great reminder that dinner doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. <\/strong>This meal comes in handy when we\u2019re in a rush, budgeting groceries for the week, or just want to get back to basics. It\u2019s a nod to simpler times and reminds me of my grandparents, who had seven children and needed to feed a lot of mouths with limited resources.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s customizable. <\/strong>While the kielbasa sausage is the mainstay ingredient, there\u2019s always wiggle room for alternate veggies. Sub in red or green bell peppers, add okra, serve it with grits or polenta, or go full-on Cajun and add shrimp and red beans to the skillet. If you favor chicken sausage or turkey sausage, that works, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It requires one dish. <\/strong>I prefer a cast iron skillet on the stovetop, but this three-ingredient meal can be chopped and tossed onto an aluminum-foil-lined sheet pan for ultra ease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s perfect for next-day leftovers. <\/strong>I\u2019m a big fan of reheating dinner leftovers for lunch the next day, and this dish warms up nicely on the stove or in the microwave. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (the cabbage gets a little too soggy after that).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-to-make-one-skillet-sausage-cabbage-and-onions\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block allrecipes-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> How To Make One-Skillet Sausage, Cabbage, and Onions <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Makes about 4 servings\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Prep Time: 5 minutes\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Cook Time: 10 minutes\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Total Time: 15 minutes\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li>1 (12-ounce) package cooked kielbasa sausage, cut into slices<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd head green cabbage, chopped<\/li>\n<li>1 white onion, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"><strong>Directions<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ol id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li>Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
