Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Green cabbage, roughly chopped
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 8 ounces Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, ground pork, and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then return it to the heat.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.

Step 5

Add the cooked rice, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything to combine well.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and all the flavors have melded together.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or a side salad.
