Hamburger Cabbage




Ok, I know it really does not SOUND appetizing but I promise you, it is really, really good! I don't even know what the proper name for this dish is. I just remember eating it as a kid and started making it again when I was able to harvest cabbage from the garden.

It's a simple meal to make and tastes great with southern corn bread on the side!

You can use fresh cabbage or frozen. I blanch my cabbage from the garden and freeze so that I can have cooked cabbage in the winter.

Cook your cabbage and salt to taste.

Cook you hamburger and salt to taste.

Make your cream or gravy by melting 3 Tablespoons of butter in a skillet, add about one teaspoon of salt, some ground pepper, three tablespoons of flour,  stir until melted and well mixed. Then add two cups of milk slowly while stirring over medium heat. Continue to stir until the gravy begins to thicken and bubble. Continue cooking for approximately one minute or until gravy is thick. Mix cabbage, burger and gravy. Delicious!
