Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo

If you’ve been scrolling TikTok with one hand and wondering what on earth you’re going to make for dinner with the other… hi, welcome. Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo is that “I need something cozy, fast, and low-carb” meal that tastes like you tried way harder than you did.

It’s creamy, spicy, and ridiculously satisfying—like Alfredo’s bolder, sassier cousin who shows up wearing boots and a leather jacket. And the best part? No pasta drama. The cabbage gets tender and silky in the sauce, and the Andouille sausage brings that smoky Cajun kick that makes everyone suddenly hang around the stove “just to check.”

Why You’ll Love This Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo

  • Weeknight-friendly: One skillet, minimal chaos, and it’s ready fast.
  • Keto comfort food energy: Creamy Alfredo vibes without the carb crash.
  • Picky-eater approved (with one tiny trick): You control the heat level.
  • Budget-friendly: Cabbage is the underrated MVP of cheap, filling dinners.

If you’ve ever wanted a meal that tastes like a restaurant splurge but cooks like a “please don’t make me wash four pans” kind of night… this is it.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s your simple lineup (nothing fancy, no wild scavenger hunt required):

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 14 oz Andouille sausage, sliced
  • 6 tbsp butter, divided (2 tbsp + 4 tbsp)
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 3 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 5 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Ingredient note from my kitchen: If you’re new to Andouille sausage, it’s smoky and usually already seasoned. Translation: it does a lot of the flavor work for you (thank you, sausage).

How to Make Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo

Grab a big skillet and let’s make some magic. These steps are simple, but the payoff is huge.

1) Sear the sausage

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced Andouille sausage and sear until it’s nicely browned. This is where the flavor starts—those browned edges are basically seasoning confetti.

Remove sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

2) Soften the onions

Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp butter to the skillet.

Stir in the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 2–3 minutes. You’re not trying to caramelize them; you’re just getting them sweet and cozy.

3) Add cabbage + butter + Cajun seasoning

Add the remaining 4 tbsp butter to the skillet.

Toss in the chopped cabbage and sprinkle on the Cajun seasoning.

Stir it around until everything looks glossy and the cabbage starts to soften just a bit. It will seem like a lot of cabbage at first. Don’t panic. Cabbage always shows up loud… then shrinks like it remembered it has social anxiety.

4) Make it creamy

Pour in 1 cup heavy whipping cream and stir to combine.

Cover the skillet and simmer until the cabbage is becoming tender, about 7–10 minutes, depending on how thick you chopped it.

5) Thicken the Alfredo sauce

Remove the lid, then add 1/2 cup Parmesan.

Stir well and simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens, about 2–4 minutes. The Parmesan melts in and turns the sauce into that rich, clingy Alfredo texture we all secretly want.

6) Bring back the sausage and serve

Return the sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.

Serve hot—straight from the pan if that’s your vibe. (No judgment. I’ve done it while “cleaning up,” which is adult code for “eating over the stove.”)

My Best Tips for Nailing It (Without Stress-Sweating)

  • Don’t rush the sear. Browning the sausage adds a smoky, savory base that makes the whole dish taste deeper.
  • Cut cabbage into bite-size pieces. Too big and it’s awkward to eat; too tiny and it can get mushy.
  • Sauce too thin? Simmer uncovered another 2–3 minutes. Parmesan and heat will thicken it up.
  • Sauce too thick? Add a splash of cream (or even a tablespoon of water) and stir.
  • Cajun seasoning varies a LOT. Some blends are salty, some are spicy, some are both. Start with the amount listed, then adjust next time once you know your brand.

And if your sauce looks a little weird for a minute when you add the cheese—breathe. Alfredo sauces can be dramatic. Keep stirring. It’ll come together like it didn’t just scare you.

A Little Story From My Kitchen

This Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo became my go-to on those nights when I wanted comfort food but didn’t want to “cook cook.” You know the nights: you’re tired, everyone’s hungry, and you’re one small inconvenience away from serving string cheese and calling it a meal.

The first time I made it, I fully expected someone in my family to say, “Cabbage? In Alfredo?” Instead, I got the best compliment: silence. The kind where everyone’s eating and nobody’s talking because they’re too busy going back for “just one more bite.”

That’s how you know it’s a keeper.

Easy Variations (So You Can Make It Yours)

  • Milder version: Use less Cajun seasoning (or choose a mild blend). You can also add an extra splash of cream to mellow the heat.
  • Extra cheesy: Add 2–3 tablespoons more Parmesan. (I support this decision.)
  • More veggie-packed: Toss in sliced bell peppers or mushrooms with the onions.
  • Different sausage: Smoked kielbasa works if Andouille isn’t available—still delicious, just less spicy.

FAQs About Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo

Can I use a different sausage instead of Andouille?

Absolutely. Smoked sausage, kielbasa, or even chicken sausage can work. The flavor will change a bit, but the creamy Cajun-Alfredo vibe still holds.

How do I store leftovers?

Pop leftovers into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. The sauce thickens as it sits (cabbage likes to soak things up).

How do I reheat it without the sauce breaking?

Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring often. Add a small splash of cream (or a bit of water) to loosen the sauce.

Is cabbage really a good “noodle” replacement?

In this dish—yes. It turns tender, slightly sweet, and soaks up the Alfredo sauce like it was born for the job. It’s not pretending to be pasta; it’s doing its own thing, and it’s doing it well.

If you’re craving something bold, creamy, and deeply comforting without a sink full of dishes, Keto TikTok Cajun Sausage Cabbage Alfredo is calling your name.
