Add carrots, cabbage, salt and black pepper; Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add the vinegar and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Serve warm.
  • Notes: I prefer the cabbage to be crisp but if you prefer it to be softer you can add about 1/4 vegetable or chicken stock, and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until it is the texture that you desire. If using stock, be sure to adjust the amount of salt in the dish since stocks do tend to have sodium.

Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups chopped cooked ham
1 ½ cups frozen Southern-style hash brown potatoes, thawed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 ½ cups chopped onions
5 cups chopped cabbage
½ cup shredded carrots
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon white pepper
2 cups milk, or more as needed
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
3 slices bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
¾ cup buttery round crackers, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread out chopped ham on the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Set hash browns on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Potatoes should be thawed and feel slightly warm to the touch, but not be cooked. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onions until they are just starting to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped cabbage and continue to cook, stirring often, until cabbage wilts down a little but is still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in shredded raw carrots and microwaved hash browns, then add mixture to the baking dish.
  • Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Combine all-purpose flour, salt, dry mustard, and white pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle flour and seasonings over the melted butter and stir, constantly, until flour and butter are well mixed and the mixture is bubbly, about 3 minutes. Allow to bubble for 1 minute, while stirring.
  • Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook, stirring, until the mixture boils and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, stir in an additional 3 to 4 tablespoons milk. Remove from heat.
  • Add half of the grated Cheddar cheese and stir until it is melted, then add the remaining half and repeat.
  • Pour sauce over the casserole and top with crumbled bacon and cracker crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is bubbly and brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm.
