Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 1 lb Ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 14.5 oz can Diced tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cut the cabbage into 6 equal wedges, removing the thick core and any outer leaves. Steam or boil the cabbage wedges for 5 minutes until they soften slightly. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet. Cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Spread half of the meat mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the cabbage wedges on top in a single layer.
Pour the remaining meat mixture over the cabbage wedges, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream, shredded mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Pour the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty Cabbage Wedge Casserole!
