Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium head Green cabbage, chopped
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (with their juice)
- 15 ounces Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Remove any excess grease from the skillet.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the diced tomatoes (including their juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice and chopped cabbage. Stir to evenly distribute.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread half of the cabbage and rice mixture in the bottom of the dish.
Pour half of the tomato-beef mixture over the cabbage and rice layer, spreading it evenly. Repeat with the remaining cabbage and rice mixture, followed by the remaining tomato-beef mixture.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Return the dish to the oven (uncovered) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes out of the oven before serving. Enjoy!
