Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 small head cabbage
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 large onion
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 10.75 oz condensed cream of celery soup
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and set it nearby.
- Shred 1 small head of cabbage into thin, uniform strips using a sharp knife or food processor.
- Slice 1 large onion into delicate, translucent rings that will distribute evenly through your casserole.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, cabbage, and onion slices.
- Pour 1 can (10.75 oz) of condensed cream of celery soup into the vegetable mixture and stir until everything is well-coated.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of Italian-seasoned bread crumbs across the top of the casserole for a crispy golden topping.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture during initial baking.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes until the top turns golden brown and edges become slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to help it set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Chop cabbage uniformly for even cooking and better texture throughout the casserole.
- Use full-fat cheese for maximum creaminess and richer flavor in your dish.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond meal.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
