Cabbage Casserole: the tasty recipe for a creamy casserole

Like carrots and potatoes, cabbage is one of the unsung heroes of the kitchen. They’re available all year round, they’re inexpensive, and they are nutritious too! This creamy, cheesy Cabbage Casserole is a great way to make use of this super versatile vegetable.

It’s a popular recipe, rich in flavor, and you’ll find it in most Southern cookbooks in America. With a few pantry staples and a head of cabbage, you can make a satisfying, cheap side dish that will make even the pickiest of eaters happy.

Simply shred the cabbage, add the creamy filling, and bake until golden! An easy family favorite that combines all the delicious flavors of stuffed cabbage rolls with a lot less time and effort!

How To Make Cabbage Casserole

Unlike cabbage rolls, this easy recipe brings the flavor without the hassle. You simply shred the cabbage and mix it with salt. Whisk together the filling ingredients until smooth, and mix with the shredded cabbage. Top with cheese and bake. As easy as 1, 2, 3.

Tips

You can stretch this dish even further by adding cooked rice, sauteed ground beef (or chicken, or turkey), or other veggies. Vegetables that release a lot of moisture (like spinach or mushrooms) must be cooked beforehand and squeezed to remove the moisture before adding it to the filling.

To make the topping more crispy, you can add crushed cracker crumbs or Panko bread crumbs with the cheese.

Although you can use purple cabbage, it’s not recommended as the color tends to look a bit unappealing after it's cooked.

This is a vegetarian and keto-friendly version, but you can also add meat like ham, bacon, or ground pork (cooked).

Other delicious additions: sauteed Brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, shredded carrots, or sundried tomatoes.

Instead of mozzarella, you can use feta cheese, cheddar, gouda, or even ricotta! Cheeses like cheddar will be more flavorful.
