1canCream of mushroom soup10.5 ounces, undiluted.
1teaspoonSaltTo taste.
1/2teaspoonBlack pepperTo taste.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or nonstick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 7–8 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drain any excess fat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef and onion with the chopped cabbage, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, and the cream of mushroom soup. Stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, until bubbly and the cabbage is tender. For a crisper top, switch to broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
Let the casserole cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before serving.
