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!
