Contest-Winning Cajun Cabbage

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 65 min. YIELD: 8 servings.
Looking for a different treatment for cabbage? Try this spicy cheese-topped Cajun cabbage that I adapted from a friend's recipe. I added a little of this and that until it tasted the way I wanted. Not only do my husband and kids like it, but I also get rave reviews when I make it for company or church functions. —Bobbie Soileau, Opelousas, Louisiana
