- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef mixture with the spices.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth to the skillet. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped cabbage and cooked rice.
Pour the beef and tomato mixture over the cabbage and rice. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty beef cabbage casserole!
