Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head green cabbage
- 1 cup, sliced water chestnuts
- 1 cup, diced celery
- 1 medium-sized, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 can, 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage, then chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery; sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and celery with the chopped cabbage, sliced water chestnuts, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Mix the melted butter with the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy!
