03 - Add diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
04 - Incorporate sliced cabbage, smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage is wilted and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
05 - Return the browned kielbasa to the skillet. Toss ingredients together and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to meld flavors and heat through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
