Beefy Cabbage Casserole

This ground beef casserole is a flavorful family dinner casserole with cabbage, lean ground beef, and cheese, along with a crumb topping.

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons butter

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash of pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese -- shredded

• 2 to 3 tablespoons port wine or apple juice

Brown beef in the oil and butter, pour off excess fat. Add cabbage, onion, salt and pepper. Cover and cook slowly until the cabbage is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add cheese, sour cream and wine.
