Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 12 oz andouille sausage
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium bell pepper (any color)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 15 oz (1 can) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 8 oz (1 can) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Dice the onion and bell pepper, and slice the andouille sausage into thin rounds.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the chopped cabbage, salt, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and thyme. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the cabbage is tender and lightly wilted, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and cooked sausage. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Layer half of the cabbage mixture in the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread the cooked white rice evenly over the cabbage, then layer the remaining cabbage mixture on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cajun Cabbage Casserole!
