CHEESY CABBAGE CREOLE (Cabbage & Beef Soup)

This is one of my favorite go-to foods.  Even people that don’t like cabbage love it!  I remember as a child, my mother would make this.  I hated cabbage.  I repeat, hated cabbage.  So did my sister and every other young person that I knew.  The funny thing is that we all loved this creole. 

 

I must also confess that though this is a “creole” but I make mine more like a soup.  Just don’t add the water and you will have this thick bowl of yumminess. 

 This creole also freezes well so make a double batch and save it for a busy night.  You could even whip up a batch of cornbread to go with it!
