| Cabbage (finely chopped) | 3 cups |
| Diced tomatoes (undrained) | 1 can (14.5 ounces) |
| Cooked rice | 1 cup |
| Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Beef broth | 1/2 cup |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cook the Beef and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the Cabbage: Stir in the finely chopped cabbage and continue to cook until the cabbage is tender, usually about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes (undrained), cooked rice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the beef and cabbage mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture from the skillet to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Pour Beef Broth: Pour the beef broth over the mixture in the baking dish.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole, covering it completely.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the foil and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
