Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs (680g) ground beef
- 1 large onion (200g), chopped
- 1 head cabbage (900g), chopped
- 2 (14.5 oz / 411g) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (8 oz / 227g) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup (185g) white rice, uncooked
- 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: 1/2 cup (56g) shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, about 5–8 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, uncooked white rice, beef broth, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir gently halfway through baking.
- If desired, remove foil during the last 5 minutes and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Return to oven until melted and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to set.
