Cabbage Ground Beef Casserole is a hearty and cheesy casserole that is ultra creamy and meaty.

Cabbage Casserole
I’ve added browned ground beef to one of the most popular recipes on Delepta, Old-Fashioned Cabbage Casserole, and the result is amazing. A wonderful side dish becomes a hearty main dish casserole that is so delicious. A Ritz cracker/ cheddar cheese topping is a great finishing touch.


How To Make Cabbage Ground Beef Casserole
- Brown and crumble the ground beef. Transfer to a baking dish.
- Cook onion and cabbage in the same skillet to cook the cabbage down some. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to baking dish.
- Stir together condensed soup, mayonnaise, and half a cup of cheddar cheese. Spread over cabbage mixture.
- Mix together topping ingredients and sprinkle on top
- Bake for 30 minutes. Tent with aluminum foil if getting too brown after 20 minutes.

Variations
- Make it spicy. Add half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Use ground chicken, turkey, or pork in place of ground beef.
- Use sour cream in place of mayonnaise.
- Leave out the onion if you don’t like onion.
- Add sauteed mushrooms.
- Use homemade condensed soup instead of canned.
- Change the cheese. Swiss, Colby Jack and mozzarella cheese are all good substitutes for cheddar cheese.
- Change the topping. Do a French-fried onion or Panko crumb topping.

Storage
Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cracker crumb topping will lose its sweetness. You can crisp it back up a little by reheating in the oven.
