Cheesy Green Beans and Cabbage Recipe

Ok, we love adding cheese with vegetables. Cheesy Brussels Sprouts, yup. Instant Pot Cheesy Potatoes, you got it. Now let’s add some cheese to our green beans and cabbage!

One of the greatest joys the garden gives me is that it makes me explore new recipes in the kitchen! We are picking pounds of green beans and cabbage every day, so instead of making separate meals I wanted to combine them into one cheesy dish!

This Cheesy Green Bean and Cabbage Casserole tastes like half traditional green bean casserole, half macaroni and cheese (but without the pasta), and 100% delicious! I hope you try it soon!

How To Make Green Beans with Cheese

Heat the oven to 400ºF and prepare a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Bring a medium-sized pot to a boil. Add fresh green beans and cook for 4 minutes. Drain.

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add cabbage, thyme and salt & pepper to taste. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, allowing cabbage to wilt, while stirring it often.

Now time to layer it all in the baking dish. First add half of the green beans, and then half of the buttery cabbage.

Now sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese on top.

Now repeat those layers one more time.

Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and cook for 10 more minutes. Then out of the oven will come this cheesy green bean casserole!

Green Bean Casserole Variations

  1. I use shredded cheddar cheese, but feel free to use any favorite cheese variety that you have on hand. If you want to give the casserole a kick you can use shredded pepper jack cheese.
  2. Want to lighten it up? Use half the amount of cheese.
  3. If you want it crispy on top add some breadcrumbs.
  4. You could even add meat to this casserole, such as bacon bits or slices of sausage.

Can I double this recipe?

This recipe makes 6-8 side dish servings. If you are making this for a holiday dinner and will have more guests you can easily double or triple this recipe.

    This dish was amazing and was pleasantly surprised the first time we made this. Was looking for a great recipe to combine these two favorite veggies and will be adding this to the rotation. Only comment is I added garlic powder and a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the cabbage and liked the added flavor.

    This looks delicious and I will try it soon. But I have to ask, how do you chop your cabbage to get all those lovely, even, square pieces?
