Cabbage Sausage Bake

This dish was pretty much gone and then I remembered I forgot to take a picture. Forgive the almost empty dish look. We wanted something easy and comforting while watching the snow come down and this fit the bill.

1 small head cabbage sliced
1 pkg chicken or turkey sausage, chopped ( we use spicy Aidell's)
1/2 large onion chopped
3 T butter diced
handful of breadcrumbs

Pre heat oven 300

Place sliced cabbage in colander and pour boiling water over to sort of soften- drain
Saute sausage and onion in skillet
In buttered baking dish, layer a 1/3 of the cabbage, salt and pepper and dot with one T diced butter, then 1/2 the meat mixture, then another 1/3 of cabbage, spices and butter, meat and finally cabbage again, spices, the breadcrumbs and butter. Cover with parchment pepper and then tightly with foil or casserole lid. Bake for 2 hours, then uncover and bake 1/2 hour more.
