Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 small cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
1 cup cooked white rice
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion, about 6–7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. Add shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes (with juice), cooked rice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
4. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to help the flavors blend.
5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Press down gently to compact.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the edges are bubbling.
7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey or pork for beef.
To make it low-carb, use riced cauliflower instead of rice.
Top with shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
