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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the chopped cabbage and shredded carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked sausage.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown on top.

Step 11

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
