Cabbage au Gratin

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by this scrumptious dish.  Very easy to make.
I greatly lowered the calorie and fat counts from the original recipe while retaining the flavor. 
(1/4 cup butter down to 1 1/2 T and from 1 cup cheese down to 1/4 cup)  I also used 1% milk and it worked great.

1 1/2 T butter
1 small head cabbage, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup carrots, coarsely shredded
1/2 c green onions, sliced
1/4 bell pepper, coarsely shredded
2 T flour
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Cheddar Cheese  (used Monterey Jack)
3/4 cup crushed ritz crackers

Spray nonstick skillet with Pam; heat pan and add butter.  When butter is melted, add veggies; saute until softened. 
Add flour, stirring until smooth.  Add milk, cooking over medium-low heat until thickened.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Pour into a greased casserole dish; top with cheese and cracker crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
