GERMAN CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KOHL UND HACKFLEISCH
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. *See NOTE for freezing, make ahead and left over tips*

Steps:
- Brown meat, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink and onion has turned clear.
- Drain grease from pan and discard.
- Add cabbage and cover.
- Cook until cabbage is clear.
- Add cheese and sour cream mixing well.
- Pour all into greased casserole and top with bread crumbs.
- Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
- *NOTE: to freeze- make ahead or re-heat left overs: compliments of Chef Marie Alice:* I froze half of this when I originally made it.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.

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.
