Quick Creamy Cabbage
No offense to Maureen intended but it sounds disgusting.
You kidding? I'm gonna make a batch of this!

Undrained boiled cabbage with cream cheese? Just doesn't sound quite "right" to me.

It's 6 cups of shredded cabbage cooked briefly in ½ cup of water, which is then retained to lighten up the cream cheese. I think I'll try it, too. Probably will add some crushed coriander seeds, just 'cuz I like that flavor with cabbage....

Gawd, for us cabbage fanatics this is ambrosia. Thanks Carol. I've saved this on 😉

As a child, a neighbor would make creamed cabbage with curry powder in it. No cheese that I recall? But I fondly recall that cabbage and wish I knew how she prepared it? Goomba

How could anything with cream cheese be disgusting?
Exactly!

Unless it's thinned with something, the cream cheese would just be gloppy.

Well, I love cabbage and I love cream cheese so maybe I'll give it a try. But I'd drain *some* of the water off; it takes a lot of water to boil a big ol' head of cabbage! (I usually steam mine unless I'm doing corned beef and cabbage or your fried cabbage.)

Ooooooooooh! That sounds fantastic! I'll try that on my second batch. I usually try new recipes in their "virgin" state.

Only 1/2 cup is called for in the recipe. The cabbage will barely be damp.
