Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head)
  • 1 cup cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently fold in the shredded cabbage and the cooked rice until everything is well combined with the sauce.
  6. Transfer the entire mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the top is slightly set.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes before you serve. Enjoy your warm, comforting casserole!

Notes

  • Sasha often adds a dash of red pepper flakes here for a little kick!
  • You can substitute brown rice for white rice if you prefer.
  • Feel free to use only half the sauce if you like a less saucy bake.
  • This dish freezes well after baking.
