1-First, brown the pork sausage, smoked sausage, onion, green pepper, celery, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the sausage is fully cooked. This step helps build the base flavors and takes around 10 minutes. For a tip from experienced cooks, brown the sausage separately before adding the vegetables to avoid overcooking the peppers.

2-Once that’s done, stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and chopped cabbage. Then, add the salt, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, and rice to the mix. For a milder version, you could swap Cajun seasoning with Creole seasoning as an alternative. Bring everything to a simmer and cook uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until the rice and cabbage are tender.

3-After simmering, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, and enjoy how the flavors meld together for a comforting, home-cooked taste that’s perfect for any occasion. Readers often comment on how leftovers make great lunches or even stuffed cabbage rolls.
