This rich and creamy cabbage casserole combines tender cabbage and sweet Vidalia onion with a buttery, cheesy cracker topping for a comforting dish that’s sure to please. Perfect as a stand-alone meal or a hearty side, it’s a simple, delicious addition to any gathering!

Ingredients:

• 1 small cabbage, chopped
• 1 Vidalia onion, chopped
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted (for the soup mixture)
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted (for the topping)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
• Cooking spray (like Pam)

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Layer the Cabbage and Onion: Arrange the chopped cabbage at the bottom of the baking dish, followed by a layer of chopped Vidalia onion.
3. Make the Creamy Mixture: In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, and 1/2 stick melted butter. Spoon this creamy mixture evenly over the cabbage and onion layer.
4. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 1 stick melted butter with the shredded cheddar cheese and crushed Ritz crackers until well combined. Spread this topping evenly over the creamy layer.
5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the casserole is bubbly.

Note: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as a cozy main dish or alongside roasted meats for a full, festive meal.
