A hearty, cheesy cabbage and beef casserole baked to perfection with tomatoes, onions, and melty cheese — a comforting one-pan meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1–1½ cups cooked rice (optional)
  • 1 small head green cabbage (about 6 cups), chopped
  • 1–1½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, sauté onion in olive oil for 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Add ground beef and brown fully. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Simmer 5 minutes. Stir in rice if using.
  5. In a separate pan, sauté chopped cabbage for 5–7 minutes until slightly wilted. Season lightly with salt.
  6. Layer half of cabbage in the dish, top with half the beef mixture. Repeat layers.
  7. Sprinkle cheese over the top.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly.
  9. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use riced cauliflower for a low-carb version.
  • Add extra veggies or beans for more texture.
  • Great for meal prep and freezer meals.
