Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small cabbage, shredded
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 cup cooked rice

Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat to avoid greasiness in the bake.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes with juice, cooked rice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper into the skillet. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer Mixture: Allow the mixture to simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. This step helps blend the flavors together and soften the cabbage slightly before baking.
  5. Transfer and Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and everything is heated through.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving warm. This resting time helps the flavors settle and makes it easier to serve.

Notes

  • Tip: Shred the cabbage finely for faster cooking and more even texture.
  • Variation: Add 1/2 teaspoon chili powder to the mixture for a spicy kick and a different flavor profile.
