Sausage with Fried Cabbage and Onions

1 pkg. link sausage (I like to use the John Morrell brand. It's skinless and very tender.)
1 medium onion
1 bag shredded coleslaw mix or 1 medium head cabbage, coarsely shredded
butter
salt and pepper to taste

Heat large skillet over medium heat.

Slice sausage in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut onion into 1/4- to 1/2-inch wedges. Cook together in skillet until sausage begins to brown; add about 1 Tbsp. butter.

When onion begins to turn clear, add cabbage and salt and pepper. Add more butter as needed to keep food from burning. Saute 3 or 4 minutes or until cabbage cooks down and starts to turn clear.

Serve hot with cornbread.

Makes 4-6 servings.
