Cabbage Casserole Ingredients

For The Casserole

• BUTTER – We used unsalted butter. To saute the cabbage and onions. 
• CABBAGE – One head of cabbage. Coarsely chopped. 
• ONION – We like using yellow onions for their sweeter, milder flavor. 
• CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP – You can also use Cream of Celery or Cream of Mushroom Soup if needed. 
• SOUR CREAM – You can use low fat sour cream but it may alter the taste and consistency of this dish. 

For the Topping:

• BUTTER – Melted
• CRACKERS – Crushed. Ritz Crackers are the best to use. But you can really use anything. Using bread crumbs would also work if that is all you have. 
• SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE – We recommend shredding your own cheese instead of buying the pre-shredded stuff. It melts better. But you can use any sort of cheese you’d like for this recipe. 
• SALT AND PEPPER – To taste. 

Cabbage Casserole Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the cabbage and onion and cook until the cabbage is tender.
4. Transfer the cooked cabbage to the prepared baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
5. Stir together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until well combined.
6. Spread the mixture over the top of the cabbage.
7. Combine the melted butter and Ritz crackers until well mixed. Stir in the shredded cheese. 
8. Sprinkle the cracker mixture over the top of the casserole.
9. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.

Storage, Leftovers and Freezing

Store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. They should be good for about 3 days. You can reheat in the microwave or in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. 

I wouldn’t freeze this dish because the creamy sauce won’t thaw well. 

Notes, Tips and FAQs

• IS CABBAGE CASSEROLE VEGETARIAN? – Yep. This is a great dish for vegetarians. 
• IS CABBAGE CASSEROLE VEGAN FRIENDLY? – No. Unfortunately this recipe is not vegan. 
• WHAT KIND OF CABBAGE IS BEST FOR THIS RECIPE? – We used Green Cabbage and it worked great. I’ve heard that you can also use Savoy Cabbage, but we haven’t tried that. Using Red Cabbage is also an option, but it will make the casserole a purplish color. 
• CAN YOU ADD MEAT TO THIS RECIPE? – Yes. Some people like to add browned ground beef to Cabbage Casserole. You could also add some shredded chicken. 
• OTHER ADDITIONS – Adding vegetables like celery, tomatoes or mushrooms would be great in this dish. 
• ADD SOME HEAT – Add crushed red pepper or jalapenos to the casserole to give it a little kick.
