Cabbage Noodle Crunch image

The Cabbage Noodle Crunch is a great way to celebrate classic Irish food. Like some other recipes with cabbage, this casserole can stand alone as a main dish or be presented as a side dish. Out of all the cabbage casserole recipes, this is one of the most unique and versatile. It contains mushrooms that compliment cabbage nicely and it is topped with a buttery Ritz cracker crust that gives this noodle dish some crunch. This dish would be a nice addition to any table and it is easy enough to make during the week.

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups shredded cabbage (leftover is fine)
1 small onion, sliced
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces (1/2 bag) wide egg noodles, cooked
3 tablespoons olive oil (for sauteeing)
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat (a wok would be the best choice).
  • Add the shredded cabbage, onion, salt, garlic powder, pepper and mushrooms. Saute until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. (If you prefer the cabbage softer, add about 2 tablespoons water, cover and cook until desired tenderness is reached.)
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Mix into the cooked noodles. Stir in breadcrumbs.
  • Add noodles to the cabbage mixture. Mix well.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add Ritz cracker crumbs and toss until coated.
  • Turn into a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish. Top with buttered cracker crumbs.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until crumbs are golden brown.
