- Add the sliced cabbage and cook for about 3 minutes until it starts to soften. Drain well.

- Let the mixture cook until it thickens and starts to bubble (approximately 5 minutes).
- Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Combining Cabbage and Cheese:
- Fold in the drained cabbage into the cheese mixture.
- Assembling and Baking:
- Transfer everything into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a crunchy texture.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Finishing Touch:
- Let it sit for a few minutes after baking, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
