Add sliced kielbasa to the pan and sauté until slightly browned. Add remaining butter, cabbage, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to mix all ingredients together and coat the cabbage with butter and seasonings.

You can also add it to your favorite breakfast casserole instead of sausage links or patties.
