Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups, crushed potato chips
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Slice the cabbage into thin strips, removing the core. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the cabbage for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to create a smooth sauce. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese (reserving 1/2 cup for topping), dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Combine the cabbage with the cheese sauce in the skillet, making sure the cabbage is well coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole, followed by the crushed potato chips.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
