Let’s Talk Cabbage
You can buy a head of cabbage for around $2 and it will give you plenty of cabbage for this meal!

Yes, girl – you need to wash that cabbage. You can just use water – or use a vegetable wash.

Wash and Tear
Take your head of cabbage and wash is thoroughly. Next, cut in half and then I prefer the tearing technique. I just tear out chunks of the cabbage to the preferred cabbage chunk size.
Angel Hair Cabbage
Another option is to purchase angel hair cabbage in the bag salad area in the produce department. Angel hair cabbage is a staple on my grocery list (especially when I go to Trader Joes, it’s under $2!) I substitute angel hair cabbage for lettuce often in my taco bowls and other low carb dishes. The crunchy taste is delicious and has a low net carb count!
Smoke Sausage or Pre-Cooked Smoked Sausage?
Let’s talk sausage. Do you smoke your sausage or buy pre-cooked smoked sausage? As much as I love the taste of smoke sausage, fresh out of the smoker – I am a mom of 4 kids. So unfortunately, the majority of the time I am on team pre-cooked smoked sausage.
BBQ Joint Smoked Sausage
If you are looking for a good smoked sausage and don’t mind paying a little more than an Eckrich smoked sausage or Hillshire Farm sausage – considering visiting a BBQ joint and picking up a smoked sausage freshly smoked!
