Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 900 g green cabbage
  • 1 1 yellow onionyellow onions
  • 2 2 garlic clovegarlic cloves
  • 3 oz. 90 g butter
  • 1¼ cups 300 ml heavy whipping cream
  • 51⁄3 tablespoons 80 ml sour cream or crème fraîche
  • 51⁄3 oz. 150 g cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon salt
  • 51⁄3 oz. 150 g shredded cheese

Instructions

Instructions are for 6 servings. Please modify as needed.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Shred onion, garlic and green cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer. The quickest way is to use a food processor.
  2. Heat a large frying pan and add the butter. Sauté the vegetables until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add cream, sour cream, cream cheese and spices. Stir thoroughly and let simmer for another 5–10 minutes.
  3. Add to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle cheese on top and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and has turned a golden color.

Tip!

These rich flavors pair beautifully with grilled – or fried – meat and fish. Whip up a double batch, and freeze the extra in small containers for a quick side dish any night of the week. Save even more time by using pre-shredded coleslaw – just avoid mixes with carrots if you can.

    How much cream cheese? The instructions mention cream cheese, but it is not shown on the ingredient list.

    I made this and it was fantastic! Guessed on the cream cheese and used 2 ounces. I also used a cup of cream (instead of 1 1/4) and added some bacon bits to the mixture before adding the cheese on top and baking. This is going to be something we make a lot!

    Hi Bonnie, Steve and Susan!

    We're sorry! It's added to the ingredients now. Thanks for letting us know it was missing.

    Can someone tell me where to find cream cheese, or whipping cream without additives/stabilizers? In the grocery stores I have frequented, all such dairy have stabilizers. I do not have access at present to a dairy farm.

    My sister has renamed this dish Cabbage Dauphinoise which is a perfect description. This dish is amazing and a huge hit. Thank you.

    I made this and was I ever surprised at how good it was. It takes on sort of a scalloped potato consistency and the cabbage and cream cheese give it a slightly sweet taste. I loved it cold, too. I expected it to be stinky and limp--a throwback to corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day that has tainted my opinion of the vegetable ever since! This makes a generous six servings, so I was having it for lunch and dinner and sometimes even had a few spoonfuls for breakfast; it's that good. All I had was Swiss cheese, and that kept it all quite mild. I think any cheese would be good...well, maybe not bleu cheese.

    Is there a way that we can pick recipes let's say make our own weekly meal plan and it will generate a shopping list. If not this would be a great feature.
    This site is awesome. You all have done a great job and I can see that it is growing.

    OMG I made this exactly as the recipe intends... Absolutely delicious and I highly recommend anyone give it a go. The cheese on top made it for me as I let it go a little crispy on the sides.

    Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!

    Are you eating this as a meal or a side? I would love to try it but unsure if it would be satisfying as just a meal itself.

    I tried this recipe but added a can of corn beef and crumbled it on the top and then put the cheese on top of the corn beef, it was a big hit with the family and is a keeper. From now on I am going to make two at a time for left overs.

    I made this today and I added some Quorn ground to it; of all the cabbage dishes this is the best. Made extra for the week.

    The nutritional guide doesn't say serving size...is this 11g carbs per cup or 4 oz? This is extremely fattening which is good but not clear serving. ..bummer I ate it now I don't know what is my carb, fat, protein intake..ugh.
