You can invent your own.

What tastes good with cabbages? Potatoes.
What tastes good with potatoes that wouldn't cause a problem with cabbages? some kind of cheese. sharp like cheddar or maybe parmesan.
What kind of accent? sour, spicy, tart, salty?

Do you want meat in there? that's gonna compete if it isn't done right. Maybe jsut a wee bit of gound beef, well browned with some salt.

mash the potatoes, grate some cheese into it, add some butter and salt if the cheese isn't salty enough. Capers go well here and add a note of sour.

Stir in the well browned ground beef. Carmelize an onion, finely chopped, add that to the mix. Maybe some pepper, but I'd skip it. You want your tang to come from the cheese. Maybe some thyme. this is your mix, what ever it is you should want to eat it plain, the cabbage is an extra which is holding it for you.

Whatever you do, I'd stay away from Betty Crocker. Tomatoes and Cabbage family don't really work and play well together.

I'm getting indigestion just thinking about cabbage and tomatoes.

Good luck.
