Creamed Cabbage in black bowl with wooden table

Creamed Cabbage

Change it up from the classic creamed spinach and serve your family creamed cabbage; a crisp, barely wilted cabbage in a creamy sauce.
Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients 

  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium head green cabbage sliced thin, about 8 cups worth
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme and/or chopped parsley OPTIONAL

Instructions

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Slowly add the milk while whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer and continue stirring until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the salt and pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust as needed. Add the cabbage and toss to coat. Cover with lid and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir and cover again. Cook an additional 2-5 minutes to the desired doneness. Uncover and simmer to thicken as needed, just a minute or two longer. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with herbs, if desired. Serve warm.
