Bubble and Squeak

Mille® 's Note:

The name of this dish is due to the sounds that are emitted during cooking, the cabbage bubbles as it is boiled and then squeaks in the frying pan. NOTE: This classic British dish originally contained beef along with the leftover cooked potatoes and cabbage, though today people don't generally bother with the meat.

A little bit of Cream Cheese and this is to die for.

Good hearty and warm dish for cosy winter (or spring) evening!!! I made it with ground beef. Tasty! Thank you!

This was really nice! I added extra salt because of another review and some pepper as well. I also used butter when I mashed the potatos - not sure if this was part of the recipe or not? It is a great staple for dinners...
