Pour the sauce over the cabbage, sprinkle on paprika, and pop into the oven until it is nice and bubbling hot.
Served warm, this Escalloped Cabbage is deliriously comforting. Elements of a boiled corned beef dinner’s sweet steamed cabbage mixes with the intense decadent divinity of macaroni and cheese to make this side dish.
There is plenty of sauce, allowing for every inch of cabbage to be coated to perfection.
The cabbage, while tender, is cooked in such a way that it doesn’t wilt down completely, keeping its structural heartiness intact while having a delicate melt away butteriness to it as well.
Many may think that the paprika is an unnecessary garnish, but it adds a tiny touch of smokiness to the dish, balancing the cabbage and cheese sauce to create the most satisfying contrast.
Try it for yourself, and you may not eat cabbage any other way!
