SCALLOPED CABBAGE I

Category: Cabbage

1 large cabbage (about 3 lbs), shredded
1 1/4 tsp salt, divided
2 cups boiling water
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup (2 oz) shredded Cheddar cheese
3 tbsp saltine cracker crumbs (optional)

Cook cabbage and 1 tsp salt in 2 cups boiling water 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain. Place cabbage in a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; whisk in flour. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Remove from heat, and whisk in remaining 1/4 tsp salt and cheese, whisking until cheese is melted. Pour cheese mixture evenly over cabbage. Sprinkle evenly with crushed crackers, if desired. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
