Notes

Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole is best served warm. Enjoy it on its own or pair it with a fresh side salad or some crusty bread. For an extra touch, sprinkle some fresh herbs or extra cheese on top just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months.
