• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chopped cabbage and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant.
4. Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir well to combine with the butter, onion, and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is lightly golden.
5. Slowly whisk in the milk, a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
6. Stir in the Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
7. Add the cooked cabbage to the skillet and toss gently to coat the cabbage with the cheese sauce.
8. Transfer the cabbage mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
9. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the breadcrumb and cheese mixture evenly over the cabbage.
