Instructions

1 If using fresh sausage links, cook in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat,
turning occasionally to brown all sides. Cook time for fresh sausage is usually
15-20 minutes. If using precooked sausage links, I still like to brown them in
the skillet. Brown precooked sausage links in a skillet over medium heat for
approximately 5 minutes, turning occasionally to evenly brown sides.
2 Once sausage links are cooked or browned, remove links from skillet and set
aside. When links have cooled, slice into rounds.
3 Return skillet to burner, add 1 tbsp butter and heat skillet over medium heat.
4 When butter melts, add cabbage and onion to the skillet. Season with salt,
pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 5-8 minutes, until cabbage starts to
get soft and onion is translucent. Then add garlic and let cook another 1-2
minutes.
5 Preheat broiler or turn your oven to bake at as high of a temperature as it will
go.
6 Next, add sour cream and mustard to the skillet. Stir to combine.
7 Then add the sliced sausage links back to the skillet and mix in with the
cabbage and onion.
8 Top the skillet with the shredded cheddar cheese.
9 Place the skillet in the oven on the top rack to broil for about 5 minutes. You
can leave the oven door cracked, but it might take a few more minutes to brown.
Watch carefully so that it does not get burned.
