Farm Fresh: Don't overlook sturdy, filling cabbage on these chilly evenings

With squashes and apples occupying center stage in the fall, we often forget the old standby -- cabbage. Cabbage may not be chic, but it packs a tasty wallop -- even if it does stink. Today's Farm Fresh recipe, Pork Chops and Cabbage, is a quick and filling casserole that's even better if served the next day.

Pork Chops and Cabbage

3 cups shredded cabbage 2-4 pork chops 1 tablespoon cooking oil 1 10 3/4-ounce can mushroom soup, undiluted 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Brown pork chops in oil on both sides. To drippings add soup and seasonings and the cabbage. Bring to boil. Put chops on bottom of a 12-by-8-by-2-inch casserole and put cabbage mixture on top. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.
