Bubble And Squeak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb pork sausage
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cups cabbage, chopped and cooked
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk, heated
salt and pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Preparation

Brown the sausage in a skillet.
Remove from pan to a bowl, then add the onion to the sausage drippings and cook till limp.
Add the onion to the meat; mix well and spread in a buttered 1 1/2 quart casserole.
Layer the cabbage on top, salting to taste.
To make the white sauce, melt the butter in a heavy saucepan; stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste is thick and bubbling, but not brown, about 2 minutes.
Add the hot milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens.
Bring to a boil; add salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes more.
Pour sauce over cabbage and top with the bread crumbs.
Bake 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees F till bubbling and hot.
