Notes

Cut cabbage into medium-sized pieces to avoid overcooking.
Bake uncovered for the crispiest topping.
Let the casserole rest before serving so the creamy layer thickens.
You can substitute cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup if desired.
Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
