A cheesy side dish with a crunchy topping is the perfect accompaniment to so many dinners. Make that side out of cabbage for a fun twist on the cheesy potato casserole we all love.
Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
Clean and shred 1 large head cabbage and dice 1 small onion.
Place half of the cabbage in the bottom of the prepared dish. Distribute the onion over the top and then the remaining cabbage. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
In a bowl, mix together the 2 10.5 oz. cans cream of chicken soup, 1½ cups milk, 1 cup sour cream and 3 cups shredded cheese. Pour evenly over the top of the cabbage.
Bake for about an hour, the sauce should be bubbly and the cabbage should be mostly tender. Give it a good stir being sure to mix the edges in with what was the center to help everything cook evenly
Mix the 2 cup corn flake crumbs with the melted ½ cup butter and sprinkle over the top of the cabbage.
Bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes or until bubbly and the cabbage is cooked to your liking.
Let rest for about 5-10 minutes and then serve.
Notes
The final cook time will depend on the size of your cabbage and how well done you like it. For a small cabbage, check it after 45 minutes of baking to see if it is tender enough to top with cornflake crumbs and finish baking.
If you don't have cornflakes, butter cracker crumbs work well in their place. No melted butter is needed if using Ritz crackers or something similar.
