Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil

- 4 cups beef broth
- 16 ounces tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1. In a large stock pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until no longer pink.
2. Add diced onion and carrots. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Add garlic and chopped cabbage. Cook until cabbage begins to soften.
4. Pour in beef broth, tomato sauce, uncooked rice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until rice is cooked through.

Notes
To make in a slow cooker: Brown the ground beef first, then transfer everything except rice to the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Add rice in the last 20 minutes.
When reheating, add extra broth if the rice absorbs too much liquid.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–5 days.
Freezes well for up to 2 months in airtight containers or freezer-safe bags.
