→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 small green cabbage, whole
02 -
1 medium Vidalia onion, chopped finely
03 -
1/3 cup mayonnaise
04 -
1 can (10 oz.) condensed cream of chicken soup or swap it with cream of mushroom
05 -
Some salt to your liking
06 -
Pepper, adjust for taste
07 -
8 tablespoons of butter
→ Topping
08 -
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
09 -
About 30 Ritz crackers, lightly crushed
10 -
3 tablespoons melted butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm your oven up to 350°F (175°C). Prep a 2-quart dish with a quick spray of nonstick or a thin butter layer.
02 -
Cut the cabbage into large chunks. Heat butter in a big pan, throw in the cabbage and onion, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until they just start softening up.
03 -
Shake in as much salt and pepper as you need for taste while they cook, giving it a good stir.
04 -
Spoon the softened cabbage and onions into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
05 -
In another bowl, blend the condensed soup with your mayo until smooth and spreadable. Pour this over the cabbage mixture evenly.
06 -
Combine your melted butter, broken cracker pieces, and sharp cheddar in a bowl, mixing well until it’s evenly coated.
07 -
Sprinkle the cracker-and-cheese mix all across the top so it covers everything nicely.
08 -
Bake on the middle oven rack for 30 minutes. The topping should turn crunchy and golden when done.
09 -
Let the dish sit for a few minutes after baking, then dish it out warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Try cream of mushroom instead of chicken soup for a different flavor twist.
02 -
Like more crunch? Bake it an extra 5 minutes to crisp up the topping even more.
