Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 cup cooked rice

Seasonings and Sauces

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Add Vegetables and Rice: Stir in the shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes with their juice, cooked rice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to combine the flavors evenly.
  4. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes on the stove, which helps the flavors meld and the cabbage to soften slightly before baking.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the beef and cabbage mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This gives the flavors time to settle and makes it easier to portion.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat covered in the oven before serving.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adding shredded cheese on top before baking is a tasty optional topping.
