How to Make Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo
- In a large skillet, brown your sausage over medium heat, letting it release its flavorful oils, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add sliced cabbage and sauté until softened, around 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently until the edges are lightly golden.
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer; sprinkle in the parmesan and stir until creamy and combined.
- Plate the dish hot, optionally garnishing with fresh parsley or more parmesan for added flavor.
Pro Tips & Troubleshooting
- Chop the cabbage finely so it cooks down properly and absorbs the sauce beautifully.
- If the sauce is too thick, gradually add a splash of broth or water until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
- This recipe easily doubles for larger families or meal prep; just keep an eye on the cooking time.

After trying this, I noticed that the flavor developed even more after a night in the fridge, allowing the spices to marinate beautifully.
