This sounds really good. I was wondering if you ever tried this dish with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup? I like how the cabbage is cooked down on the stove first and then in the oven. I do not like fresh cabbage, but I love cooked cabbage.

Excellent! Definitely going to make this again. Suggestions I would make would be to double the sour cream, and add a tablespoon of whole grain mustard.

I loved this casserole because it was satisfying even without any pasta! The cabbage and cheese melded excellently with the beef.
