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
