Cabbage Casserole / 2 Recipes

This dish doesn't really need an introduction, it's simply a Cabbage Casserole and that's it. I happen to love Cabbage any way that it's prepared.
I have another favorite Cabbage dish from Ree Drummond that I'll repost at the end of this recipe.

Edna Mae's Escalloped Cabbage / Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman:


I happen to love Cabbage. One of my favorite recipes made with cabbage is a Cabbage Soup, it's on the blog. I make it during the Fall and Winter Seasons. It's a great comfort soup. I know that not everyone likes cabbage. I hope that if you do, you'll try my soup and this interesting recipe from The Pioneer Woman. This recipe comes from her mother in law. I did a bit of research and discovered that Cheez Whiz was created in America in 1952.
It's one of those products that is shunned by many, but...... come on!, this has to be included in those All American Iconic Recipes. You know? those recipes that I always say that the French would raise and eyebrow at, if they read it. I happen to embrace many All American Iconic Recipes and I say....... try it before you say you just couldn't eat that!

I took creative licensing and adapted it just a little. Ree Drummond makes it with Cream of Chicken Soup and I make it vegetarian with Cream of Celery, if you like mushrooms, you could use Cream of Mushroom Soup.

1 head of Cabbage
1 jar ( 15oz.) Original Cheez Whiz
1 can (10oz.) Cream of Celery Soup
1 whole ( or 2) fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely diced ( 1 is spicy; 2 is very spicy)
1/4 C milk
Paprika to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Slice cabbage into 6 - 8 pie shaped slices. Remove hard inner core.
Par boil slices until nearly done but slightly firm.
Drain very well,then arrange in a buttered 9X13-inch dish.

Mix Cheez Whiz, Cream of Celerty Soup, jalapenos and milk.
Pour over the cabbage.
Sprinkle with paprika , bake 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Enjoy!
