- In the same pot, soften cabbage and onion in remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add remaining ingredients, pork chops and sausage. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until chops are fork tender. Remove lid and continue cooking until juices reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
