This was really tasty. I made a couple modifications though that may be suggestions for others trying this out. I don't have (nor like green bell pepper) so I used about 1/2 cup onion instead. Also I didn't have any milk so I used a bottle of beer, and this totally made the cheese sauce work with the cabbage for me. For the chili sauce I used garlic srirachi (it wasn't clear what the chili sauce was supposed to be) and added a couple dashes of garlic powder. Also when I made the sauce I mixed the cheddar mayo and chili sauce into the onion/beer/butter/flour mixture after turning off the heat and then poured that over the cabbage. The recipe as it's written looks like the onion/butter/flour/milk is supposed to be poured over the cabbage separately prior to pouring the cheese/mayo/chili sauce over the top.. Anyway it was super good and was great with the cabbage.
