Creamy, savory, and topped with golden cheddar—comfort food at its best!
Ingredients:
1 small green cabbage, chopped (about 6 cups)
1 medium Vidalia onion, chopped (or yellow onion)
8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, divided
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken or mushroom soup (or homemade substitute*)
1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp paprika (optional, for smokiness)
1 cup crushed Ritz crackers or breadcrumbs (for topping)
Instructions:
Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Sauté veggies: In a large skillet, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion, cook until soft (5 mins). Add cabbage, salt, and pepper. Sauté 8–10 mins until slightly tender.
Make sauce: In a bowl, mix soup, sour cream, 1 cup cheddar, garlic powder, and paprika. Fold into the cabbage mixture.
Assemble: Transfer to the baking dish. Top with remaining 1 cup cheddar.
Add topping: Melt 4 tbsp butter, mix with crushed crackers/breadcrumbs, and sprinkle over the cheese.
Bake: Cover with foil, bake 20 mins. Uncover, bake 10–15 mins until bubbly and golden.
Tips:
✅ Vegetarian? Use cream of mushroom soup + veggie broth.
✅ Extra protein? Add cooked bacon, ham, or browned sausage.
✅ Crispier top? Broil for 2–3 mins at the end.
Homemade Soup Substitute: Mix 1 cup milk + 2 tbsp flour + 1 tbsp butter + ½ tsp bouillon, simmer until thick.
Serve hot as a main dish or hearty side! 😊
