Stuffed Cabbage Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 1 head of cabbage
  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove the core from the cabbage and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the cabbage head and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the outer leaves are tender. Remove the cabbage and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  5. Stir in the uncooked rice, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  6. Carefully peel away the outer leaves of the cabbage. In a large casserole dish, layer some of the filling mixture, followed by layers of cabbage leaves, and continue until all ingredients are used up. Top with remaining filling.
  7. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this warm, savory, and utterly satisfying Stuffed Cabbage Casserole!
