Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Remove the outer leaves and core of the cabbage, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cabbage pieces for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly to form a paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden.
Gradually whisk in the milk, pouring a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth and thickened. This will take about 3–5 minutes.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the cheese has melted and the sauce is well combined. Remove from heat.
Spread the drained cabbage evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cabbage and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy cabbage casserole!
