This Old-Fashioned Cheesy Cabbage Casserole recipe is a creamy side dish with a crunchy topping that everyone will enjoy. This comforting side dish features a list of common ingredients for easy prep.
This cabbage casserole recipe is from the Extension Homemakers Shelby County (Indiana) 1988 Cookbook. We really love this type of 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.

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

Linking up to Weekend Potluck!
I love cabbage but I really detest the taste of celery! Have you used other soups to make this dish?
We totally understand! You could really use any “cream of” soup – chicken or mushroom would both work. Let us know if you try a different soup and how it turns out.
This casserole looks and sounds so delicious – perfect side dish for so many meals! Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe with all of us at Weekend Potluck! Hope you are off to a wonderful weekend.
How many heads of cabbage do I need? Thanks
Sharon – A large head of cabbage should be more than enough. We usually use a large one and have a bit leftover.
Hi. We love cabbage, but we have 1 person who hates cornflakes. (Cereal in general.). Would breadcrumbs work? Thanks for sharing.
We haven’t tried it with another topping but think breadcrumbs would work. You want something to give it a bit of a crunch on top! Let us know if you try it!
I think crushed Ritz Crackers and melted butter would be a good topping.
This sounds so delicious and comforting! I can not wait to try it!
Hope you enjoy it!
