Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider sautéing the onions before adding them to the casserole. You can substitute the cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom or chicken soup if preferred.

This casserole pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It can also be served alongside proteins like baked chicken or grilled fish. For a comforting family dinner, consider serving it with Dixie Lily Party Rolls for a hearty combination. Enjoy it warm with a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the casserole a day in advance, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before popping it in the oven. This will help it cook evenly.
Is there a vegetarian option for the soup?
Yes, you can easily make this dish vegetarian by using a vegetarian cream of celery soup or making your own with vegetable broth and cream. This way, you can enjoy a delicious vegetarian casserole without compromising on flavor.
How do I know when the casserole is done baking?
The casserole is ready when the cabbage is tender and the top is golden brown. You can test the cabbage with a fork; it should pierce easily. If you notice the top browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil while it finishes baking.
