In my book, a recipe gets bonus points when it meets four basic criteria: it’s easy to make, delicious, nutritious, and inexpensive.
Cabbage casserole is a staple in my kitchen because it meets (and exceeds) my expectations in all four categories.
Cabbage is an awesome ingredient to keep on-hand because it’s low in calories and fat, while also incredibly nutrient-dense and full of fiber. Plus, it contains a long list of vitamins and minerals, including:
- Vitamin K
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B6
- Potassium
- Folate
- Copper
- Manganese
If you’ve already experimented with coleslaw and sauerkraut recipes and are looking for a new way to serve up a head of cabbage, casserole is the way to go.
One of the best things about cabbage casseroles is that you can customize most recipes to suit your own tastes, or what ingredients you have in the fridge. Check out a few of my favorite cabbage casserole recipes below.
