Cedric Adams Casserole
I found this recipe for Cedric Adams Casserole online and the recipe states, “You get no back talk from the cabbage, the caloric content is low and the whole thing is licken good.” I liked that description so I decided to give it a shot! It’s basically a cabbage roll casserole without the rice. It is perfect if you’re trying to eat lower carb and have a high protein meal. Or you can serve it over rice like I did! Make a big batch because the leftovers are incredible, and it freezes like a dream for those nights when you need dinner in a hurry.
