Scalloped Cabbage

Adjust the amount of white sauce according to how much cabbage you have or how creamy you like it. I always increase the buttered bread crumbs for extra crunch. To cook the cabbage, coarsely chop and place in a small amount of boiling water for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for 6-8 minutes until crisp-tender.

Ingredients:
5 cups cooked cabbage
2 cups white sauce (below)
1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Directions:

• Place cabbage in buttered baking dish. Pour white sauce over; sprinkle with bread crumbs then dot with butter.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
