Old-Fashioned Cheesy Cabbage Casserole

This Old-Fashioned Cheesy Cabbage Casserole recipe is a creamy, cheesy side dish with a crunchy topping that everyone will enjoy.

This cabbage casserole recipe is from the Extension Homemakers Shelby County (Indiana) 1988 Cookbook. We really love this type of old-fashioned cookbook. Everyone submits their favorite everyday (or special occasion) recipes. No fuss, no fancy ingredients, and always family-pleasing.

Cabbage is a great ingredient to use year round. It’s usually inexpensive and one large head can go a long ways. During the summer months, it’s easy to grow your own or can be found at reasonable prices at your local farmers’ market.

The creamy texture comes from a combination of cream of celery soup, mayonnaise and milk. The perfect cheesy flavor is a result of 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, not too much and not too little.

If you like a tangy coleslaw, try our Sweet and Sour Coleslaw.

Barbara brought this Old-Fashioned Cheesy Cabbage Casserole to a recent family dinner and it got rave reviews. This side dish is deliciously creamy and cheesy. We think it is a great alternative to the traditional cheesy potatoes.
