Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (96% lean)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups Green cabbage, chopped
- 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes, no salt added
- 1 8-ounce can Tomato sauce, no salt added
- 1 cup Beef broth, low sodium
- 1.5 cups Brown rice, cooked
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and aromatic.
Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to slightly soften.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the cooked brown rice until evenly distributed.
Transfer the beef and cabbage mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the casserole with shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Divide into 6 portions and serve warm.
