I’m 60 years old and only tried this for the first time recently. Fantastic flavors.

This Cabbage Beef Bake is a filling, one-pan casserole loaded with savory flavor and comforting ingredients. It’s made with tender layers of seasoned ground beef and cabbage, combined with rice and diced tomatoes, then baked until bubbling and finished with a layer of melted cheddar cheese. This simple, satisfying meal works well for busy weeknights.

Cabbage Beef Bake
Ingredients:

• Ground beef: 1 pound
• Medium onion, chopped: 1
• Cabbage, chopped: 3 cups
• Diced tomatoes, undrained: 1 can (14.5 ounces)
• Cooked rice: 1 cup
• Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
• Salt: 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper: ½ teaspoon
• Cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
• Beef broth: ½ cup

How To Make Cabbage Beef Bake:

1. Prep and brown: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink and the onion softens. Drain excess fat and mix in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Layer: Spread half the cabbage in the baking dish. Add the beef-onion mixture, then the cooked rice. Pour the undrained diced tomatoes over the top.
3. Add broth and bake: Place the remaining cabbage on top and pour the beef broth evenly over everything. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
4. Finish and serve: Remove the foil, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the surface, and bake uncovered for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese melts and begins to brown.
