Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ cup onion chopped
  • 1 medium cabbage chopped (around 10 cups)
  • ¾ cup white long-grain rice
  • 1- 29 oz can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  • Brown the lean ground beef with the diced onion in a large skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Combine the chopped cabbage, rice, and tomato sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the casserole: spoon half of the cabbage/rice mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked meat over the cabbage and top with the remaining chopped cabbage/rice mixture.
  • Pour two cups of beef broth evenly over the casserole. Add the fresh thyme and bay leaves on top, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hr and 20 mins. Halfway through the baking time, remove from the oven, mix it up, cover again and continue baking.

Notes

  • If you can’t find lean ground beef, make sure to drain the fat after browning it.
  • When adding the beef on top of the cabbage, do it evenly so every bite has a bit of meat in it.
  • Season both the meat and cabbage mixtures with salt and pepper.
