Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Shred the cabbage and cheese, then dice the corned beef.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onion and cabbage, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and sugar. Sauté for about 20 minutes until caramelized and tender.
  4. Stir in the diced corned beef and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Set aside.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, mustard powder, and onion powder. Gradually blend in the milk, cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  6. Layer the casserole in your buttered skillet: one-third of the potato rounds, one-third of the beef and cabbage mixture, sprinkle a cup of cheese, and pour one-third of the cream sauce. Repeat two more times, topping the final layer with remaining cheese mixed with the last portion of cream sauce.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 35-45 minutes until the top is golden.
  8. Let the casserole rest for about 20 minutes. Garnish with parsley and green onions before serving.
