@oogwaywisdom0: This Creamy Cheesy Cabbage Casserole is loaded with tender caramelized cabbage, rich melted cheddar, and crispy bacon for an irresistibly creamy, savory, and comforting family dinner! 🥬🧀🥓 🥬🧀 Creamy Cheesy Cabbage Casserole Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30–35 minutes | Servings: 4–6 Ingredients For the Cabbage Casserole: - 1 medium green cabbage (about 1½ lbs / 680 g), chopped - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter - 1 medium onion, finely diced - 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced - 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened - ½ cup (120 g) sour cream - 1 cup (115 g) shredded cheddar cheese - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika - ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper For the Topping: - ½ cup (55 g) shredded cheddar cheese - 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped - 2 green onions, thinly sliced Instructions 1. Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. 2. Prepare the cabbage: Remove the tough outer leaves and core from the cabbage. Chop into small, bite-sized pieces and rinse thoroughly. Drain well. 3. Sauté the onion: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant. 4. Add the garlic: Stir in the freshly minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds, until aromatic. 5. Cook the cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender, slightly reduced in volume, and lightly caramelized. Cook off excess moisture to prevent a watery casserole. 6. Add the cream cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese and stir gently until melted and evenly combined with the cabbage. 7. Make it creamy: Stir in the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything becomes rich, smooth, creamy, and cheesy. 8. Transfer to the baking dish: Spoon the creamy cabbage mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. 9. Add the toppings: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole, followed by the crispy crumbled bacon. 10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted, the casserole is bubbling around the edges, and the top is lightly golden. 11. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and sliced green onions. 12. Serve: Scoop generous portions onto serving plates and enjoy hot as a creamy, cheesy comfort-food dinner or a delicious side dish alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or pork chops. Cooking Tip: Sauté the cabbage until most of its moisture evaporates before adding the cream cheese and sour cream. This helps create a thick, creamy casserole instead of a watery one. #CheesyCabbageCasserole #EasyDinnerRecipes #ComfortFoodRecipes
