Buttery Sausage & Cabbage Stir-Fry
A quick, hearty stir-fry made with sausage, garlic, cabbage, and butter — smoky, savory, and full of cozy flavor. Simple ingredients, one skillet, and ready in minutes.
Equipment
- 1 sauté pan
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb sausage sliced into thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons red onions chopped
- 2 cups cabbage chopped
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. As it begins to melt and sizzle, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant — about 30 seconds.
- Cook the Sausage: Add sausage slices and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re browned on the edges and release their smoky flavor into the pan.
- Add the Onions: Toss in the red onions and stir-fry for about 1 minute until they soften and turn slightly translucent. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage and toss everything well to coat it in that rich, buttery mixture.
- Steam and Finish: Pour in the chicken broth and let the skillet steam for 3–4 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy the comforting, garlicky aroma filling the campsite. It’s simple camping cooking at its best — cozy, flavorful, and satisfying under the open sky.

Notes
- Use pre-cooked or smoked sausage for easy camping cooking — It’s already seasoned and safe to eat, so you only need to brown it for a few minutes. The edges will crisp up beautifully and add that smoky, savory flavor.
- Don’t overcook the cabbage— Add it last and cook just until it’s tender but still has a little crunch. It keeps the stir-fry light, fresh, and perfectly balanced.
- Don’t rush the browning— Give the sausage a few minutes to sear before stirring. That golden edge adds both flavor and texture — key to making simple camping cooking taste gourmet.
