Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups chopped cabbage
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar
- Minced parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Brown the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook while breaking it apart with a spatula until it begins to brown. -
Add Onion and Garlic:
When the beef is about halfway cooked, stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft. -
Incorporate Cabbage and Tomatoes:
Add the shredded cabbage, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined. -
Cook Until Tender:
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cabbage has softened to your preferred texture. -
Add Cheese and Finish:
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Let the casserole sit uncovered for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
-
Garnish and Serve:
Just before serving, top with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
-
Cheese Swap: Feel free to use mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or your favorite cheese blend instead of cheddar.
-
Spice it up: Add crushed red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a little heat.
-
Extra Creaminess: Stir in a dollop of sour cream or cream cheese for a richer texture.
