This is a popular dish in our home. It is also one of those casseroles that can be put together and frozen so that you can place it in the oven sometime when you have no time or energy to cook something from scratch.
1 1/2 to 2 pounds of ground beef
1 onion; chopped
1 small head of cabbage that has been shredded or chopped up
1 can of UNDILUTED cream of mushroom soup
homemade crescent roll dough OR 2 cans of crescent roll dough
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Brown the hamburger and onion together; drain well. Add cabbage to this mixture and stir. Add the cream of mushroom soup. Mix well. Set aside.
Grease a 9" x 13" pan. If you are using canned crescent roll dough, lay one can's worth out on to a lightly floured counter. Gently roll the pieces together until it makes one piece that is longer and wider than the pan itself. Carefully, place it in your pan. Press it down leaving the excess length and width to hang over to the top of the pan. When this casserole is complete, it will have 4 sides and the top and bottom crusts.)
Spoon all of the meat and vegetable mixture into the raw dough. Sprinkle the cheese all over this mixture. Set aside.
Now, remove the dough from the second can. Again, spread it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a crust that will be approximately 9' x 13". Carefully place this onto your casserole. Use your fingers to put the two crusts together. Once you have finished that, take a sharp knife and cut 5 or 6 6-inch slits in the top crust so that heat and steam can be released from the baking casserole.
Place your casserole into a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown.

This recipe is also good using a can of well drained sauerkraut insted of cabbage!!! I also have used canned biscuits(not rolled out).
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds really good also! Thank you for sharing this!!! I'm gonna have to give it a try! VLE-B
ReplyDeletelynn have a question on the recipe. do you freeze it after you bake it or before and is the time 25 30 min for a fresh made one or a frozen one. i think our family would like this one and would like to put a couple in the freezer. does freezeing hurt the crescent rolls? after frozen and you bake it do you cover it with foil. pacer@sctelcom.net karen tripp
ReplyDeleteKaren, you need to bake it first and then freeze it. Foil is fine. If you freeze it, thaw it out for awhile and then put into the oven until the center is heated thoroughly. The fresh bake should take 25-30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI think that your family will love this!!!

thaks let you know how it goes. here is a potato soup recipe from me. dont need to peel them cut them up cook , take a pound of bacon and fry it up crisp. now drain the water on the potatoes to about a 1/3 of a round roaster or let it boil down until it just covers the potatoes.take a potatoe smasher and smash the potatoes up until it is thick as you would like it to be then add half and half and the bacon. salt, pepper some butter to taste and if you like celery or onion you add them when the potatoes when they were cooking. its fast , kind of a thicker soup , way to fattning but most good things are. keep the bacon grease it will grow hair on a horse that has lost his due to injury ha ha
