Notes

  • Try using a food processor with a grater attachment to shred you cabbage. It's fast and easy.
  • Use a large skillet; it will seem overly full but the cabbage wilts down as it cooks.
  • Substitute evaporated milk or half and half for heavy whipping cream if desired.
  • Creamed cabbage with heavy cream means this is a keto creamy cabbage recipe.
  • Creamy cabbage calls for 5 cups shredded cabbage.  One head of cabbage should be close enough to 5 cups.
  • I use a regular green cabbage for this low carb creamy cabbage recipe.
  • It is really important to not overcook the cabbage in this creamed cabbage recipe.
