Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small head cabbage, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned completely. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish lean.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add chopped cabbage, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the cabbage is wilted and the onions are tender.
- Add Tomatoes and Seasoning: Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a casserole dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, golden, and bubbly.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika when simmering the tomato mixture.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat easily in the microwave or oven.
- This dish can be made gluten-free by ensuring canned tomatoes and seasonings contain no gluten additives.
- Use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner alternative to beef if preferred.
