I have a similar recipe with broccoli but did not have that available one night so used cabbage and we liked it even better than with the broccoli. You can use broccoli if you like it better than cabbage!

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 c minute rice prepared
5-6 c cabbage - cook until tender
4 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 c chopped onion
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
2 c milk
3-4 c ham chopped
2 c fine shredded swiss cheese
2 c fresh bread crumbs
3-4 Tbsp flour

Steps:

1. Cook Minute Rice according to package instructions. One cup will make 2 cups cooked. Cook cabbage until tender, drain
2. Grease 9 x 13 inch casserole. Put rice in bottom and spread it out. Put cooked cabbage on top of rice and evenly distribute it.
3. In a bowl combine 2 tablespoons of the butter and the bread crumbs and set aside. I use sliced bread that is getting stale and tear it up into small pieces rather than the fine bread crumbs.
4. In a frying pan cook onions in remaining butter and olive oil until soft. Stir in flour, salt and pepper stirring constantly. It will quickly form a paste like product on the onions. Stir in the milk and continue cooking and stirring until mixture thickens and boils for 1 minute. Add ham and heat 1 minute more.
5. Pour over the top of the cabbage and spread it out evenly. Cover with the swiss cheese. Top with the bread crumbs and bake at 350° for 30 - 45 minutes until it is bubbly and the bread is starting to brown a bit.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: For the best flavor and texture, select a firm, heavy head of green or Savoy cabbage.
Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
Cook the cabbage until it is tender: But not mushy. You should be able to easily pierce it with a fork.
Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will add a lot of flavor to the casserole.
Don't overcook the casserole: Otherwise, the cabbage will become mushy and the cheese will become rubbery.

Conclusion:

Creamed cabbage casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With its creamy sauce, tender cabbage, and melted cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying dish, give creamed cabbage casserole a try.
