Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 can corned beef
  • 1 can cream of celery soup
  • 1 can or 1 1/2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Place sliced potatoes in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
  2. Add chopped onion, salt, pepper, and shredded cabbage over the potatoes.
  3. Top with sliced canned corned beef.
  4. Mix cream of celery soup and milk together and pour over the layers.
  5. Cover the casserole with foil.
  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 1 1/2 hours.

Tips & Substitutions

For added flavor, consider sautéing the onions before layering them in the casserole. You can substitute the corned beef with cooked ground beef or turkey for a lighter option. If you're looking for a creamier dish, use half-and-half instead of milk. Feel free to add spices like garlic powder or paprika to enhance the taste, similar to those found in Layered Ravioli Meat Loaf Casserole.

Serving Suggestions

This casserole pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For a heartier option, serve it alongside crusty bread or dinner rolls. You could also enjoy it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, which complements the dish well, much like in Cheesy Beef Casserole.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat the entire casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-30 minutes until warm.
