Brenda Gantt Recipes Cabbage Casserole Recipe Tips:
- Bacon-Lover’s Cabbage Casserole. Add crispy, crumbled bacon for a smoky twist that enhances the casserole’s flavors. Cook six strips of bacon until crunchy, then chop them into small pieces. Sprinkle the bacon throughout the cabbage mixture for extra texture and flavor. Reserve a few crumbles to garnish the top before baking. The salty, savory bacon perfectly complements the creamy and cheesy base.
- Low-Carb Casserole with Cabbage. For a ketogenic variation, use almond flour or crushed pig rinds in instead of the crackers. For a deeper taste, use a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and heavy cream instead of whole milk. To cut down on calories, sauté the cabbage in olive oil rather than butter.
- Cheesy Casserole with Broccoli and Cabbage. A nutrient-dense take on the traditional dish is to add steamed broccoli florets to the cabbage. Evenly distribute one cup of cooked broccoli florets into the cabbage mixture. For a gooey, melty texture, use a combination of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses. The broccoli enhances the creamy base of the casserole by adding more fiber and a bright green color.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- In The Fridge: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Allow the casserole to cool completely before storing.
- In The Freezer: Wrap the cooled casserole tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months for best quality.
- To Reheat: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15–20 minutes, or microwave individual portions until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
