⅓ cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp melted butter (for topping)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.

In a large pan, melt 8 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped cabbage and onion.

Sauté the mixture for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage is softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the cooked cabbage and onion mixture to the prepared baking dish.
-
In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup with mayonnaise. Spread this mixture evenly over the cabbage in the dish.
-
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of melted butter with the shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Notes

Reheating: Reheat the casserole at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or microwave individual servings for 1–2 minutes.
