Time 40m

Yield Serves 8 (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons (2 1/2 oz.) salted butter, divided
1 medium (2 lb.) cabbage, shredded (about 10 cups)
1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
2 medium-size yellow onions, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 garlic clove, chopped (about 1 tsp.) or to taste
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk (from 1 12-oz. can)
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
4 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup), divided
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet set over medium. Add cabbage, celery, onions, and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a 3-quart lightly greased (with cooking spray) baking dish.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium; whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and thick, about 1 minute. Gradually add milk to saucepan, whisking constantly to remove any clumps. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk in Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan until smooth. Pour sauce over cabbage mixture.
  • Place remaining 1 tablespoon butter in microwavable bowl, and microwave on HIGH until melted, about 30 seconds. Add breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan to melted butter, and stir until combined. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture evenly over cabbage.
  • Bake in preheated oven until casserole is bubbly and breadcrumbs are golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • Be sure to drain the cabbage thoroughly after washing it. This will help prevent the cabbage from becoming too watery.
  • Adding a bit of salt to the cabbage before cooking will help to draw out the moisture and make it crispier.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the cabbage. This will prevent the cabbage from steaming and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the cabbage over medium-high heat until it is tender-crisp. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
