    I made this a few weeks back and my man and I loved it! I cooked a side of brown rice and topped it with the creole. Thank you!

    I made this tonight. I was looking for cabbage recipes and found this one. I already had everything to make this with. Very easy to make and so so good. This is the kind of recipe that will stay on my family’s list of comfort foods. This is a keeper!!!

  12. OMG sooo good. The only change I made was to let the cabbage cook for 10 extra minutes before adding the cheese … and that was just a preference at THAT time (was just in the mood for a bit softer cabbage and it still had a crunch). Actually had 3rds, and that is a rarity for me!!!

    Ms. Rosie!!! Every recipe I try it is always amazing but for this recipe what other kind of cheese can I use besides Velvetta?! ( I forget to get some at the store and all I have is shredded cheese)
