Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small head cabbage, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain the excess fat to keep the dish lean.
- Saute Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the cabbage is wilted and vegetables are tender, allowing flavors to meld.
- Add Tomatoes and Seasoning: Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to develop a rich sauce.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the beef and cabbage mixture into a casserole dish and evenly top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes during simmering.
- You can substitute mozzarella with cheddar or another melting cheese if preferred.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a creamier texture, stir in a few tablespoons of sour cream before baking.
