Cabbage Roll Casserole Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups beef broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the cabbage: In a large pot of boiling water, cook the chopped cabbage for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the diced onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.
4. Mix in rice and seasonings: Stir in the uncooked rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, thyme, and basil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Layer the casserole: In a large baking dish, spread a layer of the cooked cabbage on the bottom. Add a layer of the meat and rice mixture on top. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cabbage.
6. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions.
