Description
Cheesy Cabbage Casserole is a delightful comfort food dish that effortlessly brings warmth and satisfaction to any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small green cabbage, chopped
- 1 medium Vidalia onion, chopped
- 8 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken or mushroom soup
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Lightly greasing your 2-quart baking dish will create a non-stick surface for your casserole, ensuring it comes out easily and doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- In a large skillet, melt 8 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and starting to bubble, add the chopped cabbage and Vidalia onion. Sauté this mixture for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking. Feel free to season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper, which will help bring out their natural flavor and sweetness.
- Once the cabbage and onions have softened and become slightly translucent, transfer this mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken or mushroom soup with the mayonnaise until smooth. Next, pour this creamy mixture over the cabbage in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure every bite will be flavorful.
- Combine the melted butter with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese in a small bowl. This mixture will serve as a delectable topping for your casserole. Sprinkle it generously over the assembled casserole, making sure to cover the surface entirely. This will create that irresistible golden, bubbly layer while baking!
- Now it’s time to pop your Cheesy Cabbage Casserole into the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until you notice that the edges are bubbling and the cheese has turned a beautiful golden color. Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Notes
If you prefer a lighter casserole, consider using low-fat versions of the mayonnaise and cream soup. This dish freezes well; make it ahead of time and freeze before baking for convenient meal options.
