Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. For the best flavor and texture, use a firm head of green or Savoy cabbage. Avoid using red cabbage, as it has a stronger flavor that may overpower the other ingredients in the casserole.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Sauté the cabbage before adding it to the casserole. This will help to soften it and bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. The cream cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a brand that you like. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The cabbage should be tender, but still slightly crunchy. Overcooking will make the cabbage mushy.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best enjoyed when it is hot and bubbly. You can serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cabbage and cream cheese casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover cabbage.
