Layered Cabbage Casserole image

This recipe is almost like cabbage rolls without the work. It serves 8 to 10 so is great for entertaining and, even better, can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. In fact, the flavour improves when reheated! The recipe comes from a 1983 Canadian Living publication called Everyday Cookbook Special. NOTE: After receiving a few reviews I've reduce the sugar and vinegar by half. I completely agree that this was too sugary.

I'm not a fan of cabbage, but I actually enjoyed this casserole. The cheese and sausage helped to balance out the cabbage flavor.

This casserole was a disaster! The cabbage was tough and the sausage was greasy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I added some garlic and onion powder and it was much better.

This casserole was so easy to make and it tasted delicious! I used ground turkey instead of sausage and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
