Baked Cabbage

Yum. This is one of those dishes that is very tasty and requires few ingredients. It will definitely be making the rounds in my house. We really enjoyed it. I’ve been wanting to cook this recipe for a long time but with our triple digit Texas summer, I didn’t want to heat up the house.
Next time, I may dice a couple pieces of cooked bacon and stir into the cabbage and potatoes for even more flavor. I think it would also be good to lightly brown some breakfast sausage and add it instead of the bacon.

Ingredients:

1 head of cabbage
2 pats of butter
olive oil
salt and pepper
water
6 medium red potatoes, diced
paprika
red pepper, optional, did not use

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350.
Spray roaster pan or deep casserole dish on sides and bottom. Cut cabbage into strips and place them into the pan or dish. Pour olive oil over cabbage (I didn’t measure but probably used 1/8 c or so).
Place diced potatoes on top of cabbage; put butter on top; salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bottom of the pan with water, no more than 1/4 up the side of the pan. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove lid (or foil) and continue to bake until water has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Bake to desired tenderness or until potatoes are done.
*I cooked it about an hour in total, just until the potatoes were soft and slightly browned.
