Introduction

My daughter brought home a 15 lb cabbage her third grade class planted, grew, and harvested. It was not the record breaker this year (19 lbs was). I had to get creative with the ingredients around the house, thus this casserole. Plus, I have to eat low-sugar, low-carb for my thyroid, so now I'm in love. I made it for Easter and no one turned up a nose - it was gone! My children and anti-carb husband eat thirds.

Ingredients

    2 pounds deer meat (my brother provides us with it, but beef works well, too, but calories and fat increase)
    2 packages of gluten free taco seasoning
    2 cups of shredded cheddar (I like mild but have combined mild and sharp with leftovers from fridge)
    cabbage (1 gallon size baggie of cabbage, roughly 6-8 cups)
    1 onion
    butter (about 1/2 cup)


Directions

1. Start raw ground meat in a deep skillet. Continue to tend to ground meat while chopping cabbage (step 2).

2. Chop cabbage and one onion into bite-size pieces, roughly. Place in large pot with butter and saute. Stir periodically.

3. When meat is browned, add taco seasoning of your choice. If you need to preheat oven, you can do so now. I have a gas range, so preheating isn't necessary.

4. When cabbage is wilted throughout and luminescent, place in a 13x9 baking dish. Add ground meat and shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle cheese on top.

5. Cook at 350 for 20 minutes.

Serving Size: 24 - 1 cup servings, 2 cups are quite filling for an adult
