Some of our favorite comfort food dishes are made with the simplest of ingredients. This cabbage pie is no exception. We dug this out of an old recipe box and thought we’d give it a whirl for Sunday night dinner, and it did not disappoint. There’s nothing humble about this pie; it’s full of flavor and creaminess that makes us think of those warm home cooked meals from when we were kids.
We rough chop a head of cabbage and take a little shortcut by using prepared pie crusts to make this even easier. All we had to do was dice and sauté some vegetables, make a creamy sauce, and put everything into the oven. What comes out of the oven is a classic, hearty dish that the whole family enjoyed. Feel free to add meat to this as well; we love it with diced ham or even chunks of cooked bacon for a salty bite and added protein.
Cold weather makes us crave something warm to help fight away the frosty chill. This is one of those meals that will warm up our family after a long day at work and school. Everyone was reminded of chicken pot pie, but not a single person missed the meat in this dish. From time to time we like to try a few meatless dishes, and this is a great one for sneaking in a few veggies – I mean, who can say no to a savory, creamy pie filled with warm goodness? Our cabbage pie is a take on a classic comfort food recipe and one that we’re sure you’ll enjoy too.
