Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small cabbage, shredded

Other Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook ground beef and onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef combined with the chopped onion. Stir occasionally until the beef is browned and onions are softened, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Add vegetables and seasonings: Stir in the shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes with their juice, cooked rice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
  4. Simmer to blend flavors: Let the mixture simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. This step helps the flavors meld together and softens the cabbage slightly before baking.
  5. Transfer to baking dish: Spread the beef and cabbage mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake the casserole: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the casserole is heated through.
  7. Rest and serve: Remove from oven and let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving warm. This helps the dish to set for easier serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken to lighten the dish.
  • For added flavor, try mixing in some shredded cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • If you prefer spicier flavors, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
