I wanted to give people a hint if they don't have cheese cloth. I use a tea ball or spoon (for loose tea). Put the spices in, close it up and put into the pot. Easy to use, find, and remove at the end.

5 stars with a few additions. I agree that the original recipes needs just a bit of tweeking, but an excellent base. I chuckled when I read the negative review about all the pans, etc. I too try to make things easier, and I have an aversion to boiling any veggie as it robs all the goodness. So, I sauteed a chopped onion, two cloves garlic, some green & red pepper I had in the fridge until soft in a little EVOO. Then added the cabbage. Covered it, stirring freqently until soft. I added S&P, thyme, marjoram (or whatever spice you like). Then added the can of soup, the cheese (I used shredded sharp cheddar and less than called for). Stirred till melted and encorporated. Transferred to a dish, sprinkled seasoned bread crumbs over, and a reserved bit of cheddar. Used NO butter, just a bit of oil. Wonderful!!!

An absolutely wonderful recipe!!! Very forgiving also. I used a 14 oz. pkg. of frozen spinach. I sauteed some fresh mushroom(could use canned if that is all you have) in with the onion and several cloves of garlic. This is the second time I have done this and this time added fresh chard from the garden, about 8 stalks, cook the stalks with the onion and garlic, then the chopped tops with the spinach. Also added fresh parsley. I added some low fat cottage cheeese and about 2 C. of mixed cheeses (all I had), a mix of cheddar and mozarella, though any cheese will do. (used jack/cheddar last time) I also added plenty of ground pepper and some salt, generous grinding of fresh nutmeg (note to newer cooks, buy a nutmeg grinder or a rasp, and nutmegs, then are they are always fresh)and fresh basil(dried in a pinch). I used the 6 eggs and a splash of milk this time as I had more veggies but the number can be changed depending on how much veggie you use. And, to make it even easier, use a pan that will go into the oven - cook everything, add the eggs/cheese and cook in the pan. A one dish meal!! Just wonderful and delicious!!
