Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, shredded
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the chopped cabbage and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked sausage.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown on top.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
