Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head green cabbage, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  5. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, nutmeg, and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
  6. Lightly grease a baking dish and layer cabbage and sauce, finishing with sauce on top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream for milk for a richer texture.
  • Add breadcrumbs or extra cheese on top for a crispier finish.
  • This dish can be assembled ahead and baked just before serving.
