Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 cups cooked corned beef, shredded or chopped
- 1 medium head green cabbage (approx. 2 lbs), shredded or finely chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream (full fat recommended)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: pinch of paprika for color
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Cabbage: Melt butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded cabbage, a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Set aside.
- 2. Build the Creamy Sauce Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- 3. Assemble the Bake Layers: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread half of the sautéed cabbage, then half of the shredded corned beef. Dollop half of the creamy sauce over the corned beef and spread gently. Repeat layers with remaining cabbage, corned beef, and sauce.
- 4. The Golden Parmesan Topping: Generously sprinkle the entire dish with 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. (Optional: sprinkle with paprika for color).
- 5. Bake to Golden Perfection & Rest: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the Parmesan topping is golden brown and crispy. If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispness. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
