    Sausage, potatoes, onions, and cabbage

    I have posted many simple recipes on my blog over the years, but this one could possibly be one of the simplest.  It's a one dish meal of sausage, potatoes, onions, and cabbage.  If you can use a knife to spend five minutes to cut a few vegetables, then you can definitely make this meal.  It's a perfect meal on a weeknight when you have chores to accomplish, homework to help the kids with, or you just want to spend some time flopping on the couch when you've pushed yourself to the limit for the day.  Yeah we all have days like that.

    Motivation to cook is just not there.  You don't have it in you to stand over the stove and sauté anything.  You can't bare the thought of washing multiple dishes.  You're just done.

    That was me a few days ago.  I was tapped out. I was done.

    Dinner still need to be made though.  Why do they have to eat three times a day?  Normally I would consider caving and go out to eat, but my hubby was gone and my youngest wasn't feeling well so mama had to plow through.  Out of necessity, I came up with this simple little dish and everyone was happy and fed.  No it's not my most prized meal that I've ever made.  No it's not gourmet.  No it won't win any culinary awards.  No it doesn't even really require a recipe.

    Yes it was tasty.  Yes it was nutritious.  Yes it was filling.  Yes we all happily ate.  Yes it was easy and took very little hands on time.  I call that a win.  Most of the time when I make meals like this I think they aren't worthy to publish, but then I remember that you are regular people just like me and may need a little inspiration for when you just need to get dinner on the table with as little work as possible.

    Grab a fork.  Dig in.

      This was a good recipe. This is the 1st time trying it baked. I'm used to it being in the skillet. Very good with olive oil.

      Thank you, this looks great. This will be tomorrow's dinner. I may add quartered apples. Your black bean and corn salad will be today's lunch.
      I really like your site-I don't have to wade through multiple pics of. every. step. to get to the recipe and your intros are well-written and to the point and don't have an over-abundance of exclamation points. I look forward to exploring more of your recipes and ideas.

      Hellooooooo

      I thought about a Polish dish with Cabbage a week ago. Bought all ingredients. I was googling Polish cabbage and potatoes recipe, when I came across your recipe. I am trying it, I was going to do on stove top, however oven is a great idea, A time saver.....lol.......I also added pieces of garlic, as sausage is a garlic sausage....I also added some carrot of different color, slice in chunky sticks.... YUM..... Great idea for a one pan quick meal, and healthy too. Thanks Much Tara
