"I found this on one of those recipe cards at the grocery store. It's a little different than most of the cabbage casserole recipes I've seen posted, so I thought I'd share it. *Note: Be sure to core the cabbage well or it will be tough. "

Easy and simple and the overall flavor of this recipe was good, but my family did not enjoy the cabbage. I followed the steps accordingly, except I chose a Napa cabbage. We like the texture better. I believe it would be more tasty if the cabbage were to be incorporated into the meat mixture. Sorry I can't be more favorable. Made for Easy Does It! event. :)

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
