In this post I’ll be sharing a Cheesy Ground Beef and Cabbage Casserole Recipe.
This easy recipe is another delicious installment in my “back to the basics” recipe series. This is one of those tasty clean out the fridge shop the pantry dinners that your family will love.
A few weeks back I found myself with a refrigerator drawer full of produce that needed to be used up because it was on the brink of going bad. I really hate wasting food.
So I pulled everything out of the fridge that I needed to use to look it over and come up with something to make.
Sure, I could have made a few different sides with everything that I had but I decided to throw it all together in a mish-mash of flavors casserole.
I saw no reason why it shouldn’t turn out well but there was a little part of me saying to myself “I hope this is gonna be good“. Well, it was. Delicious in fact.
We enjoyed the casserole for two meals. I think it might have been even better the next day after I re-heated it in the oven.
Ground Beef and Cabbage Recipe
This creamy hamburger and vegetable casserole was delicious topped with cheese. If I had it to do over again, I might have used even more cheese.
That is just the cheese-aholic in me talking though. I’m sure it was cheesy enough for the mister. He’s not quite the crazed cheese lover that I am.
Did you know that there is an official word for someone who loves cheese? It is turophile. Who knew? I’ll just keep calling myself a cheese-aholic though.
Clean Out the Fridge Casserole
So here’s what I had on hand at the time to make this meal:
- Ground Beef
- Cabbage
- An Onion (who was feeling a bit camera shy and didn’t make it in the photo)
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Mushrooms
- Cheese
- Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup
Of course you could add or take away and adjust the ingredients to what you happen to have in your pantry at the time.
Chopped tomatoes, grated carrots, celery would also work great if you have it on hand and you could use any cream of something soup for cooking casseroles.

The hamburger went into a skillet to mince up and brown until done. While this was happening I chopped up the veggies and checked on the ground beef occasionally as it cooked.

Drain the cooked ground beef very well and add it to a large mixing bowl along with the chopped vegetables.
I also added half of my grated cheddar cheese to the filling mix.
