Calories 352kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 Cups Mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 Yellow Onion chopped
- 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 Teaspoon Tabasco
- 1 Teaspoon Thyme fresh
- 2 Cups Cabbage shredded
- 3 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese divided
- 1 Cup Green Beans diced
- 3 - 5 Oz Cans Albacore Tuna drained
- Pork Rinds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Add butter (2 tablespoons) to a large heat-safe skillet, over medium heat.
- Once melted, add sliced mushrooms (2 cups), yellow onions (1/2 chopped), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and saute until soft - about 10 minutes.
- Add heavy cream (1 cup), Tabasco (1/2 teaspoon) and thyme (1 teaspoon). Reduce the heat so the cream comes to a gentle simmer (high heat will ruin the cream). Cook veggies in cream until the cream has reduced by half, and the white sauce coats the back of your spoon - about 15 minutes.
- Stir in shredded cabbage (2 cups), and cook in cream until wilted - about 5 minutes,
- Remove skillet from heat, and add cheddar (1 cup), diced green beans (1 cup) and Albacore Tuna (3-5 Oz Cans drained ). Stir to incorporate.
- Taste test to see if it's salted to your taste. I usually add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt here.
- Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar (2 cups).
- OPTIONAL (but adds a much-welcomed crunch! We always do this.): Place pork rinds in a sealed zip lock bag, and pound with a rolling pin, until the pork rinds are bread crumb sized. Sprinkle on top of your casserole.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top starts to bubble and the casserole is heated through.
- Allow casserole to cool slightly before slicing, and enjoy!
