Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 small head, chopped into bite-sized pieces green cabbage
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Heat a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, and sauté until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the chopped cabbage, letting it cook down slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and lower the heat. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
