- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 15 oz Tomato Sauce
- 14.5 oz Diced Tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Beef Broth

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab a large oven-safe baking dish for this recipe.
Cooking the Beef and Cabbage
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and then add the chopped onion to the skillet, cooking until softened.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
Baking the Casserole
- Pour the cabbage and beef mixture into your prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and let it stand for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef for a leaner option.
