CABBAGE WEDGES WITH CHEESE SAUCE
We celebrate St Patrick's Day with a big meal each year and cabbage usually plays some part in the feast. One year, a guest brought this cabbage dish to share and it was a big hit. She originally found the recipe in an issue of Taste of Home magazine. The chili sauce called for in this recipe is not particularly spicy (although hot versions are also sold) and is usually sold in a bottle in the ketchup aisle in US supermarkets. The brand I most often have used is Heinz.

ROASTED BROCCOLI & CHEDDAR CHEESE DIP WITH POTATO WEDGES RECIPE - (4.4/5)
Provided by jenlin
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450°F. Toss the broccoli florets with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a baking sheet and spread out in a single layer. Roast the broccoli until browned in parts and tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a cutting board to cool. Coarsely chop the broccoli. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until the flour is lightly browned and has a paste-like consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture just comes to a bare simmer and has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheddar and Monterey jack until melted. Gently stir in the roasted broccoli and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve with roasted potato wedges or other dippers.

- Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add all sorts of mix-ins to your cheese wedges, such as bacon, ham, sausage, vegetables, or herbs. Just be sure to not add too much, or the cheese wedges will become too dry.
- Bake the cheese wedges until they're golden brown: The cheese wedges should be baked until they're golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they're cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
- Serve the cheese wedges with your favorite dipping sauce: Cheese wedges are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or marinara sauce.
