Shape into 3 pancakes, each the size of the casserole dish. In a skillet cook the pancakes till just slightly browned on both sides. Cut the sausage into lengthwise slices. Put a pancake on the bottom of the casserole dish, then a layer of sausage and a layer of cabbage; top with another pancake and repeat the process.
