Noodles, Cabbage and Onions - Michelle cooks chopped up onion and shredded head of cabbage in oleo/margarine for 1 1/2 to 2 hours...shortcut is sometimes to use bag of coleslaw since it's mostly shredded cabbage. then mix with cooked WIDE noodles. may mix in more margarine with S & P.

Head of cabbage shredded or bag of coleslaw
