Ingredients Needed

• Green cabbage – You can use red or Napa cabbage.

• Mayonnaise – Duke’s is my favorite brand. Don’t use Miracle Whip.
• Cheddar cheese – Pepper Jack works great too.
• Ritz crackers – Substitute Panko or corn flakes.

Serving Suggestions

A cabbage casserole is super versatile. You can serve it as a topping on hot dogs. Or you serve it as a main course or side dish. It tastes great cold too, so I suppose you could even get away with calling it a salad too.

However, if you serve cabbage casserole as your main course, then here are sides I can recommend from my sister site: Leftovers Then Breakfast.

• Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
• Succotash
• Italian Chopped Salad

How long does it last?

Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just store in an airtight container.

You can heat it up in the microwave, on the oven, or in a sauce pan on medium heat.

Can I freeze it?

Freezing is not quite as ideal, because the texture of the cabbage isn’t quite as good after freezing. But no worries, it still tastes great.

Also, you can add more fresh ground crackers or cereal to the top when you reheat if you have some handy.

Are stuffed cabbage and cabbage casserole the same thing?

In a lot of ways, stuffed cabbage recipes and cabbage casseroles have a lot in common. The ingredients include cabbage, onions, meat, etc. But there is a major difference to truly appreciate.

Because it makes all the difference. Ask yourself…

Do you feel like stuffing a bunch of cabbage leaves into nice little pockets of stuffed cabbage leaves? Then carefully laying those into a pot to cook, hoping leaves don’t split and spill…

If not, then making a casserole is the way to go! All you need is to layer the ingredients in and bake it. Then spoon out and serve. May not look as cool, but it sure tastes just as good!

Tips for the Best Casserole

• If you have a small head of cabbage make it in a 2 quart baking dish (8×8).
• You can use any type of cabbage, even red cabbage or Napa cabbage if you like.
• Make sure to rinse your cabbage first.
• Other types of condensed cream soups work for variations. For example, cream of mushroom, or cream of asparagus.
