Total Time:1 hour
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small head cabbage, chopped
1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish lean.
Combine Ingredients: In a large baking dish, mix the cooked beef mixture with the chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. This allows the cabbage to soften and flavors to meld.
Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from oven and serve the casserole hot for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Notes
Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content without losing flavor.
For extra flavor, sauté the cabbage briefly before mixing with the beef.
You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a cheese blend if preferred.
Adjust seasoning according to taste; adding red pepper flakes can add a nice kick.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
