GERMAN CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KOHL UND HACKFLEISCH

German Cabbage Casserole - Kohl Und Hackfleisch image

Cabbage and meat mildly seasoned with garlic and onions in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs for a pretty presentation! A real comfort food. Even those who say they HATE cabbage will eat this and like it! I have even made this without the meat- using bulgur and veggie broth. Here is how: Just replace the meat with the same amount of bulgur- (for 1 lb of meat sub 1 cup bulgur) you will want to soak the bulgur according to the instructions on the package- if you bought it in bulk here is how... Bring 2 cups of veggie broth ( can use bouillon and water) per 1 cup bulgur When broth is boiling stir in bulgur. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until bulgur is soft. All the broth should be absorbed. Fluff the bulgur with a fork as you would rice and add to your recipe. I have used beef, pork, turkey and chicken with great results too.

Ingredients

1 cup bulgur (2.5 cups cooked, also known as cracked wheat) or 1 lb ground chicken, have all worked well
1 medium onion
1 garlic clove, minced, more if desired
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
1 medium cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
salt and pepper

Steps:

Brown meat, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink and onion has turned clear.

Pour all into greased casserole and top with bread crumbs.

*NOTE: to freeze- make ahead or re-heat left overs: compliments of Chef Marie Alice:* I froze half of this when I originally made it. This freezes excellently and if anything tastes even better after! I reheated it by melting a little butter in a skillet and then crumbling the partially thawed casserole into it, cooking and stirring until it was heated through.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 large raw potatoes, halved and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
2 medium onions, sliced thin
16 ounces sauerkraut
32 ounces ring bologna or 32 ounces smoked sausage, cut into 1 inch, slanted chunks
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large casserole dish with a lid, layer the ingredients in this order - 3 dabs of butter, potatoes, onions, sauerkraut, salt and pepper, sausage.
You can half everything and make two "stacks" of layers as well, if you prefer. Make sure you end with sausage on top.
Push ingredients down, if necessary, to compress and fit into your dish.
Bake until the potatoes are tender - I usually go for an hour and fifteen minutes for perfect potato tenderness for my family.
Remove from the oven and serve.
This dish is wonderful with home-made bread.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the casserole. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still moist. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
Use a good quality cream of chicken soup. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the casserole. Look for a soup that is made with real chicken broth and has a rich, creamy flavor.
Add some cheese to the casserole. This will make it even more delicious and decadent. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese are all good options.
Serve the casserole with a side of your favorite bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

German Gebackenes Huhn Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
