Notes
This Cheesy Cabbage Casserole is a hearty, one-pan meal perfect for weeknights or meal prep. Serve it straight from the skillet with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color and a touch of freshness. It pairs beautifully with sides like cauliflower mash, a crisp green salad, or roasted vegetables. For added richness, drizzle a little sour cream or sprinkle extra cheese on top before serving. Leftovers should be cooled completely, then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes or warm on the stovetop over low heat. For long-term storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as desired—this casserole reheats perfectly without losing flavor or texture.
