What would St. Patrick’s Day be without a good cabbage recipe? This easy cabbage casserole fits the bill, and can even be enjoyed with leftover corned beef. Yes, even vegan corned beef if you prefer. The recipe was originally shared with us by Enjoy Life Foods. It used their allergy-friendly bagels as topping. The bagels were discontinued many years ago, but we’ve updated the recipe with new topping options!

You don’t list how much onion!
That was forgotten! I’ve added an amount that suits, but you can use a whole small yellow onion if you are onion fans.
