Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding some grated cheese between the layers, or use a mix of different potatoes for added texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this casserole in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the casserole a day ahead. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate. When ready to bake, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven to ensure even cooking.
What can I use instead of mushroom soup?
If you prefer a different flavor profile, you can substitute the mushroom soup with a homemade cream sauce or use a can of cream of celery soup. For a vegan option, consider using a plant-based cream soup or a mixture of blended cashews and vegetable broth.
How do I know when the vegetables are done?
The vegetables are done when they are fork-tender. You can test this by inserting a fork into the potatoes or cabbage; they should be soft but not mushy. Keep an eye on the casserole during the last 15 minutes of baking, especially if you removed the lid earlier.
