This casserole is a hearty side dish, thanks to the buttery, crisp topping and the velvety cheese sauce that surrounds the cabbage. Ingredients:
8 cups (1-inch) diced green cabbage (about 2 heads) |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated fat-free milk |
1 cup fat-free milk |
2 garlic cloves, minced and divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/3 cup (1.3 ounces) shredded gruyère cheese |
cooking spray |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup crushed reduced-fat round buttery crackers (about 11; such as ritz) |
Directions:
1. Place cabbage in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with water (about 8 cups). Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave at HIGH 8 1/2 minutes or until cabbage is tender; drain.
2. Preheat oven to 375°.
3. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and milks in a small saucepan. Stir with a whisk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly with whisk. Remove from heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove, salt, pepper, and cheese to pan, and stir until cheese melts. Pour milk mixture over cabbage, tossing gently to coat. Pour cabbage mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
4. Place butter and remaining minced garlic clove in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 25 seconds or until butter melts; stir in crackers. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over cabbage mixture.
5. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until edges are golden and top is set. Let stand 8 minutes before serving.
