In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the sausages on all sides.

Add onions, carrots, and peppers, cooking until softened.
Stir in the cabbage by adding half and let it cook down for a few minutes.

Salt, pepper, paprika, and any herbs you like.

Put the lid on the casserole and place it in the oven.

Take the lid off and let it bake for another 10 minutes.

Spoon into bowls and enjoy with crusty bread and fresh peppers (if you like a bit of spice). I also recommend serving with a spoonful of sour cream for a bit of freshness.
