Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups cabbage, chopped
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup cooked rice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Brown the beef and onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion for 5-7 minutes, until the beef is fully browned and the onions are translucent. Drain excess fat.
Season the beef mixture: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture.
Layer the ingredients:
Place half of the chopped cabbage in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the beef mixture over the cabbage, followed by a layer of cooked rice.
Pour the undrained diced tomatoes over the rice.
Top and bake:
Layer the remaining cabbage on top and pour the beef broth evenly over the dish.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Add cheese and bake again:
Remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can swap the ground beef with ground turkey.
You can use any kind of cheese you prefer for the topping, like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking
