I’m 60 years old and only tried this for the first time recently. Fantastic flavors.
🥘 Cabbage Beef Bake
Ingredients
- Ground beef: 1 pound
- Medium onion, chopped: 1
- Cabbage, chopped: 3 cups
- Diced tomatoes, undrained: 1 can (14.5 ounces)
- Cooked rice: 1 cup
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper: ½ teaspoon
- Cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- Beef broth: ½ cup
👩🍳 Directions
1. Prepare and Brown
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain off any excess grease, then season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Assemble Layers
Spread half of the chopped cabbage evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Spoon the beef mixture over the cabbage, then layer the cooked rice on top. Pour the entire can of undrained diced tomatoes evenly over the rice.
3. Add Broth and Bake
Top with the remaining cabbage and pour the beef broth evenly over the layers. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for about 45 minutes.
4. Finish with Cheese
Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This warm, comforting dish pairs perfectly with a side of bread or a simple green salad.
