Instructions:

Preheat: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by chopping the onion and melting the margarine in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Saute Onion: Add the chopped onion to the skillet with melted margarine and sauté until soft and translucent.
-
Brown Beef: Next, add the ground beef to the skillet along with salt and pepper. Brown the beef until cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
-
Drain Fat: Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
-
Steam Cabbage: Place the chopped cabbage on top of the cooked beef mixture in the skillet. Cover the skillet and steam the cabbage for about 10 minutes, or until it’s slightly tender.
-
Prepare Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced water chestnuts, celery soup, and grated sharp cheddar cheese.
-
Combine Ingredients: Stir the cheese mixture into the skillet with the beef and cabbage, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
-
Add Sour Cream: Gently fold in the sour cream, being careful not to heat the mixture too high to avoid curdling.
-
Transfer to Casserole Dish: Grease a casserole dish and transfer the beef and cabbage mixture into it, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
-
Add Chow Mein Noodles: Just before the casserole is done baking, sprinkle chow mein noodles on top for a crunchy texture.
-
Let Stand: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it stand for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes it easier to serve.
-
Serve: Serve the cabbage casserole with soy sauce on the side, allowing each person to add it to their serving according to their taste preferences.
