0:00
- I got another one from the olden days.
0:07
My family has always loved fried cabbage.
0:13
And this is gonna be a cabbage casserole.
0:18
Now, the recipe tells you
0:20
to bring a pot of water to a boil
0:25
and boil your cabbage,
0:26
but I'm not going to do that.
0:29
I think I'm going to just kind of fry mine around
0:34
That's a pile of cabbage.
0:37
And then we're gonna want to drain it good.
0:44
(chuckles) This is gonna make a lot of cabbage, y'all.
0:53
And it's probably not gonna make the kitchen
0:59
Might smell like somebody poo-weed.
1:07
You know those things that smell,
1:08
like collared greens, cabbage, turnip greens?
1:12
What else doesn't smell good?
1:16
All that stuff that tastes so good
1:19
and can kind of stink up your kitchen.
1:24
All right, I'm gonna have to put a little water in this
1:26
and I'm gonna put a little pat of butter
1:31
'cause I don't wanna drown it.
1:35
I don't wanna drown the cabbage because...
1:56
Good, I did that without even spilling a drop,
2:07
Okay, so I'm gonna put the lid on this
2:13
and see what will happen.
2:17
Hopefully when we come back,
2:18
we'll have about half that much cabbage.
2:22
While my cabbage is cooking,
2:24
I'm gonna go ahead and saute off
2:26
my bell pepper and my onions and my bacon,
2:30
which is, this is gonna just make that casserole.
2:36
I think I need a little bigger pan though.
2:41
So after our cabbage is done and we drain it,
2:43
we're gonna mix all this together
2:46
and make up our sauce for it.
2:50
And I hope it's gonna be good.
2:53
Okay, our cabbage is coming along real good, y'all.
2:57
And I didn't drown my cabbage
3:00
because cabbage contains a lot, a lot of water.
3:03
But I am gonna go ahead and salt it
3:06
and that salt's gonna help pull even more water out
3:10
because we got to drain these.
3:17
And I do like the crushed black pepper.
3:21
Michael loves the fresh,
3:24
I mean, the little restaurant style, the ground.
3:38
To me, it just has so much more flavor
3:43
than the fine grounds.
3:45
All right, uh-oh, I'm getting a little overambitious here.
3:51
I turned that heat up and I forgot about it.
4:00
Okay, I'm gonna cut that back down to really low
4:06
because the bacon is really done.
4:12
which is all right with me.
4:16
Because Theresa cut that up in nice little pieces for us.
4:22
All right, let's give our cabbage another little stir.
4:29
Stir that salt and pepper up in it.
4:34
And you can see our pot's,
4:36
the cabbage is getting lower and lower, so that's good.
4:40
All right, so now while that's doing its thing,
4:45
I'm gonna come over here
4:46
and I'm gonna mix a can of cream of chicken soup.
4:51
Now, you can use any kind you want.
4:56
Cream of mushroom or cream of cheese,
4:58
just whatever you want.
5:09
But I just wanna make a nice sauce for our casserole.
5:18
And for this, I tell you, you may want to,
5:20
depending on how big your cabbage is,
5:23
you might wanna just use a half a cabbage 'cause it's big.
5:30
Okay, we're gonna have cheese in it.
5:41
And now I'm gonna take this
5:48
and add it to our sauce.
5:59
I think I cut that off. I did.
6:09
and onions and bell pepper,
6:13
that's gonna make that soup
6:19
and that cheese melt together.
6:24
Let's finish up, y'all, with our cabbage casserole.
6:28
Oh, this looks so good.
6:32
So you wanna just drain that good.
6:41
And I think that's pretty good.
6:46
Mm, cabbage almost tastes sweet.
6:54
All right, I'm gonna pour this juice out of...
7:00
Poured it right back in the cabbage.
7:15
That cabbage cooked down quite a bit, didn't it, y'all?
7:18
- [Theresa] Sure did.
7:21
- Started out huge, humongous.
7:31
All right, I'm gonna roll just a little bit of butter
7:43
I got the biggest piece.
7:51
All right, so the salt tasted good
7:52
on that little bit that I tried.
7:59
All right, so here we go.
8:00
We're gonna add our soup, bacon, onions,
8:04
and bell pepper to our cabbage.
8:13
This'll be a good recipe,
8:16
you know, if you've got a potluck you're going to.
8:23
They won't give me time to do nothing
8:25
before they're grabbing my stuff (chuckles).
8:28
Don't you know I have to get every bit of that out, Theresa?
8:32
Before you can have it. - I thought you did.
8:33
- Well, now I did (chuckles).
8:40
Theresa, I think we had more cabbage than what we thought.
8:47
I think we could stand a little bit more cheese.
8:51
All right, so this'll do the same thing
8:53
that cheese would do (chuckles).
9:09
All right, so we're gonna bake this.
9:11
Gosh, it's already hot.
9:12
So I wouldn't bake it too terribly long, y'all.
9:18
The recipe says 45 minutes,
9:19
but I really cooked our cabbage, you know, really good.
9:24
So I'd say maybe 25 minutes is good.
9:32
Maybe a little bit more salt.
9:37
But I wanna be careful.
9:45
And a little bit of pepper.
9:53
like I said, it'd make a great potluck dinner.
9:59
So I'm gonna put this in our casserole dish,
10:02
which I have not sprayed yet.
10:09
And like I said, if your dish is hot,
10:12
if all your ingredients are hot,
10:16
but not too much longer.
10:19
Okay, 25 minutes and we'll be right back.
10:22
And I just thought of something, y'all.
10:25
On these casseroles, I love a crunchy top.
10:28
So I think what I'm gonna do
10:31
is the last few minutes of cooking time,
10:34
I think I'm gonna add some buttered panko on top,
10:39
or you can add cheese if you want to,
10:43
or Ritz crackers or whatever you like.
10:48
Okay, y'all, I did what I said I was gonna do.
10:53
I melted some butter and mixed it with my panko
10:56
'cause I like crusty things,
11:00
but there's several ways you could take that top.
11:02
And of course it looked delicious without anything, but.
11:17
mm, the smell of the bacon is so good.
11:20
And even though I was able to hold that glass,
11:22
it had cooled off a little bit,
11:24
it's still smoking (chuckles).
11:41
Like I said, great potluck.
11:45
Love and best dishes, y'all.
11:46
I've had so much fun cooking out of the first cookbook,
11:51
