Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lbs ground beef

- 1 onion, chopped
- 10 oz cream of chicken soup (1 can)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise

- 30 crackers (saltine or Ritz work)
- 10 1/2 tbsp butter, divided for dotting top and greasing dish

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with about 1 tablespoon of butter.

- Add chopped onion and garlic powder to the skillet; sauté until translucent, about 3–5 minutes.

- Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish and spread evenly.
- Crush the crackers and sprinkle them evenly on top, then dot with remaining butter.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the top is golden brown.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
- Let cool slightly, 5–10 minutes, before serving.
