Bubble and squeak combines the flavors of your favorite sausage and delicious steamed cabbage topped with a generous handful of sharp cheddar cheese. This very simple recipe is very inexpensive and quite filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 Head of Cabbage, wash and chopped into 1″ pieces
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 lb Sausage
  • 1 c. Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Steam or boil the cabbage until soft. While it’s cooking, crumble and brown the sausage in a skillet. If the sausage is fatty, drain it.

Once the cabbage is done (soft to your liking),plate it, sprinkle lightly with garlic salt, top with a generous scoop of browned sausage and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Let the heat of the sausage melt the cheese for a minute before serving.

I recently found an excellent deal on sausage for only .50 per pound. Clearly this it not a normal occurrence. If sausage is expense in your area, you can make your own using a pound of ground turkey (which is available in rolls in the freezer section at Walmart for $1.10 per pound)

MYO Sausage:
1#lb Ground Turkey or Pork
1 tsp Ground Sage
1 Tsp Fennel Seeds
1/8 tsp Black Pepper
1/8 tsp Garlic salt
1/8 tsp oregano

Mix the spices together and then fully incorporate into the meat. It’s best if you can let it set several hours before cooking it, but if you’re making a quick dinner, you can use it right away.

  1. Sounds like heaven! Unfortunately I think only hubby and I will eat it. But believe me I’ll try to get the kids in on it.
