Ingredients

1 medium cabbage about 2.5 pounds
1 large onion quartered then thinly sliced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper less if desired
4 tablespoons melted butter ½ stick
½ cup mayonnaise
1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 sleeve Ritz Crackers or any buttery cracker
8 tablespoons melted butter (1 stick)
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Lightly spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Rough chop cabbage into bite-sized pieces and place in a 9x13 casserole dish.
Place onion on top of the cabbage and sprinkle salt and pepper. Then drizzle 1/2 stick of melted butter over the top and sides of the casserole.
To a small bowl, add 1/2 cup mayo and cream of soup. Stir and drop by spoonful over the top of the cabbage and gently spread to cover the top.
Add crushed crackers, 1 stick melted butter, and cheese to a medium bowl for the topping. Mix. Sprinkle topping on top of the casserole.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes- 1 hour.

Notes

Use Green Cabbage: It’s ideal for baking, providing the best texture and flavor.
Shred your Cheese: Shred your cheese for this dish. It melts more easily than pre-shredded cheese.
Let it rest before serving: Allow the casserole to sit for 5–10 minutes after baking so the layers can settle and it’s easier to serve.
