Instructions:
-
Parboil cabbage and onions: Begin by parboiling the cabbage and onions for about 7 minutes. Once done, drain them thoroughly.
-
-
Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the margarine, flour, milk, and seasonings. Cook until the margarine melts, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
-
Add Velveeta Cheese: Once the margarine has melted, add the Velveeta cheese to the saucepan. Continue cooking until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat.
-
Layer the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a 2-quart casserole dish, begin layering the ingredients. Start with half of the parboiled cabbage and onions, followed by a layer of bread, and then the pork sausage links. Repeat the layers of cabbage and bread.
-
Top with Cheese Sauce: Pour the prepared cheese sauce over the layers in the casserole dish, ensuring it covers the ingredients evenly. Finally, top the casserole with the remaining pork sausage links.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Final Touch: Once the casserole is cooked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle some additional cheese on top. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for a few more minutes until the cheese melts and forms a golden crust.
-
Serve: Once done, take the casserole out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into generous portions and enjoy the comforting flavors of this hearty cabbage casserole!
