Cheesy Cabbage Casserole

INGREDIENTS:

1 small green cabbage , chopped (about 6–8 cups)

1 medium Vidalia onion , chopped

8 tbsp butter (1 stick), divided

Salt and pepper , to taste

1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken or mushroom soup

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)

Optional toppings: Crispy bacon bits, breadcrumbs, or fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) .

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole pan.

Step 2: Cook the Cabbage and Onions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tbsp of butter .

Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and lightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes .

Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender, about 10–12 minutes . If the pan gets too dry, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Combine with Soup

Once the cabbage is cooked, remove the skillet from heat.

Stir in the cream of chicken or mushroom soup until the cabbage mixture is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed …
