How to Make Baked Creamed Cabbage

  1. Shred 1 medium head of cabbage (about 4 cups shredded).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shredded cabbage and cook for 9 minutes, or until slightly tender-crisp.
  3. Drain the cabbage thoroughly in a colander and set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of milk until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked cabbage to the prepared casserole dish. Pour the cream sauce evenly over the cabbage.
  8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of bread crumbs evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
