Cabbage Casserole with Southern Flair

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F. While that’s warming up, bring a big pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the cabbage and cook it for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until it’s nice and tender. Drain it well and set it aside.

Step 2

Melt 5 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and clear, around 5 minutes. Stir in the condensed soup and poppy seeds, then mix in 8 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese until it’s all melted and creamy. Take the pan off the heat, then fold in the drained cabbage, sour cream, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Pour this mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Now, melt the last tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring often, until they turn a light golden brown. Sprinkle the toasted crumbs over the casserole, then top with the remaining Cheddar cheese.

Step 4

Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake it uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until everything is bubbly and heated through. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
