Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked beef to the crock pot.
While the beef is cooking, finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the crock pot.
Chop the green cabbage into bite-sized chunks and add them to the crock pot, spreading them evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and pour the mixture over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Stir the contents of the crock pot to evenly distribute the seasoning and sauce, ensuring everything is well coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
If desired, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top in the final 15 minutes of cooking and allow it to melt.
Serve the casserole warm, optionally garnished with extra black pepper or fresh parsley for a touch of freshness.
