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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a medium-sized cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid cabbages that are too large or have loose leaves, as they may not cook evenly.
  • Prepare the cabbage properly: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into wedges or quarters. Remove the core from each wedge and rinse the cabbage pieces thoroughly.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to create a unique flavor profile for your baked cabbage. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: Baked cabbage should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make the cabbage mushy.
  • Serve immediately: Baked cabbage is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with chopped parsley, green onions, or crumbled bacon for added flavor.

Conclusion:

Southern Baked Cabbage is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year long. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
