Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion, cook until beef is browned. Add garlic, then cabbage, and cook until slightly wilted.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme.

Notes
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup for mushroom if preferred.
- For a lower-carb option, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- This casserole freezes well – assemble, cover tightly, and freeze before baking, then thaw overnight before cooking.
