Baked Cheddar-Cabbage Casserole with Ritz Crust

Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium green cabbage, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped cabbage and onion. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the onion is translucent.

3. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Combine with broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.

5. Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Season with kosher salt, ground black pepper, celery salt, and paprika.

6. Assemble the casserole: Stir the sautéed cabbage mixture into the creamy base until well combined. Fold in 1 and 1/2 cups of the sharp cheddar cheese.

7. Transfer to a baking dish: Scoop the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

8. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, blend the crushed Ritz crackers with the remaining 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese.

9. Top and bake: Sprinkle the cracker-cheese mixture evenly over the casserole. Place it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

10. Cool and serve: Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
