Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium green cabbage chopped
  • 14 oz smoked sausage sliced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook diced onion until soft. Add garlic and chopped cabbage, cooking for 8–10 minutes until the cabbage softens.
  4. Season the cabbage mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and half of the cheddar cheese until smooth.
  6. Add the cooked sausage and cabbage mixture into the bowl and stir everything together evenly.
  7. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Broil for 2 extra minutes if desired for crispy cheese edges.
  9. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This casserole stores beautifully and tastes even better the next day. Feel free to swap cheeses, add bell peppers or mushrooms, or use spicy sausage for extra heat.
