CABBAGE CASSEROLE

Half a cabbage was resting in my refrigerator begging to be used. What to make? Sub-zero temperatures and yet another storm in our midst and comforting cabbage casserole was born. I added some celery and carrot to the mix for extra nutrition, some creamed soup and Greek yogurt thrown in and supper was ready. Use whatever creamed soup you wish. Cream of celery is especially nice. Cream of mushroom is as well. Or why not include a batch of my GALLEY CREAM OF ‘WHATEVER’ SOUP.
Today I’m very thankful for my Omnia stove top oven as that darned nor’easter created a short power outage. We do have a generator but we chose not to have it wired to our range so I simply used our RV hot plate to cook our dinner. I served this with a portion of fish but you could easily make the casserole a complete meal in itself with some added protein. Stir in some cooked chopped chicken or a tin of drained tuna. It’s a very forgiving recipe. Don’t forget a sprinkle of grated cheese and panko crumbs or use some of my CRISPY TOPPING for instant crunch.
Last time I made this I fit it into a glass casserole dish and froze it, a treat for those days when you really don’t feel like cooking! It should be good stored this way for about three months.
