Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium head, chopped green cabbage
• 1 cup, uncooked white rice
• 28 ounces (1 can) crushed tomatoes
• 15 ounces (1 can) tomato sauce
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the browned beef. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped cabbage, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to wilt.

Step 5

Add the uncooked rice, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, soy sauce, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything to combine well.

Step 6

Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly soften the rice and meld the flavors.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rice is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy your Cabbage Never Roll Casserole!
