Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until browned, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

3. Add shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes with juice, cooked rice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.

4. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

6. Cover with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, until cabbage is tender.

7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can substitute brown rice or quinoa for a whole grain twist. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
