A creamy, cheesy bake made with ground beef and cabbage, perfect for a comforting family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small head green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a tangier swap)
  • 1 cup cream of mushroom soup, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup cooked rice, optional for added bulk
  • Breadcrumbs for topping, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large casserole dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, then drain excess grease.
  4. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper, then add the shredded cabbage and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened.
  5. Whisk the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup together until smooth. If using cooked rice, fold it into the beef and cabbage mixture.
  6. Spread half of the beef and cabbage mixture in the prepared casserole dish, then spoon half of the sour cream mixture over it. Repeat layers with the remaining ingredients.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the top and add breadcrumbs if desired. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use day-old cooked rice for the best texture. For a lighter version, swap half the sour cream for yogurt. Drain excess fat from the beef to avoid greasiness.
