This is a great recipe to make ahead and put in the refrigerator and bake later. It is also great heated up! I have four kids, two young adults and two small children. Two of them don't like cabbage but love this recipe. I have made this for about 10 years and everyone who tries it wants more.
Total Time: 1-1.5 hours preparation and bake time
Yield: 6-8
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 block of velvetta cheese
- 1 package of smoked sausage (skinless or regular)
- White Sauce
- 1 stick of butter
- 3-5 Tbsp flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups milk
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In large pot, put about 2 inches of water. I put 1 tsp. sugar in the water and bring to boil. Put in cut up cabbage and cook until tender. Drain off excess water and put aside.
- In sauce pan, melt butter over low heat, stir in flour until it looks likes a thick yellow paste. Add your salt and pepper. Stir constantly and add milk gradually, the constancy of the sauce should be thick, not runny. If need to you can use a container with a lid, put 1-2 tsp flour and 1/2 cup milk. Shake it up until it is mixed up and no lumps. Add mixture to sauce until thickened.
- In casserole dish, put half the cabbage in then put cheese then the rest of the cabbage. Cover the top with white sauce. I use a deep casserole dish with a lid but have used two smaller ones. The dish I use is 4 inches deep.
Note: You need to have about 1 inch from the rim of the casserole dish to the top layer of cabbage. - Cut your smoked sausage across about 1/4 inch thick and place on top of the cheese.
- Cover with a lid or foil and bake until cheese is melted on top, usually about 35-40 minutes.
- Take out of oven and remove lid, let it set for 8-10 minutes and serve!
