Ingredients

– **Casserole:**

– 1 lb ground beef

– 1 small onion, diced

– 3 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 small head of cabbage, chopped

– 1 cup uncooked white rice

– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

– 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

– 1 1/2 cups beef broth

– 1 tsp salt

– 1/2 tsp black pepper

– 1 tsp paprika

– 1/2 tsp dried thyme

– **Topping (Optional):**

– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.  

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.  

3. Add diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.  

4. Stir in chopped cabbage and cook for 5 minutes until slightly wilted.  

5. Add uncooked rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Stir to combine.  

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

7. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.  

8. Remove foil, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top (if using), and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.  

9. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!  

Notes

– You can substitute ground turkey for a lighter version.  

– Brown rice can be used instead of white rice, but adjust the cooking time.  

– For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the tomato mixture.  

– Freezes well—store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
