Ingredients

2 tablespoons Olive oil

1 pound Irish banger sausage

½ pound Red skinned potatoes, sliced thinly crosswise

1 medium Medium onion, sliced thinly crosswise

½ head Green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced

3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces

1½ cups Low sodium chicken or vegetable broth, divided

2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, divided

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the Irish banger sausages and brown them on all sides for 5-7 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the sausages to a plate and slice them into 1-inch pieces.

  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced potatoes and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent.

  3. Add the sliced cabbage and diagonal carrot pieces to the skillet. Stir to combine all vegetables and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. Pour 1 cup of the broth into the skillet and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme over the vegetables. Stir gently to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. Return the sliced sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of broth over the top and add the remaining teaspoon of thyme. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  6. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the carrots are cooked through. Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Grocery List Plus Editorial Staff4.5

Every ingredient is stocked at any major Charlotte chain—potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and onions are cheap year-round staples, and sausage runs $3–4 per pound at Walmart or Food Lion. The stated 40 minutes is honest if you don't peel the potatoes first; count on 45 minutes if you do. This is a forgiving one-skillet dish that doesn't demand hovering, reheats well the next day, and costs roughly $2.50 per serving. The only soft spot: it's plain comfort food without real distinction, and thyme is the only seasonings listed, which leaves it a bit flat for a weeknight that deserves better.
