A cozy and budget-friendly casserole that combines ground beef, rice, cabbage, and tomatoes under a layer of melted cheese for a hearty weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 large head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, with their juices
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, any melty variety you prefer
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Garlic powder to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, and cook until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain excess grease.
  3. Stir in the rice, chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes with their juices, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook briefly on the stovetop until the cabbage just begins to soften and everything is evenly combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Cover the casserole tightly with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and return the dish to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

For a lighter texture, consider using long grain parboiled rice or pre-cooked rice as noted in the recipe. You can also swap out the shredded cheese for a blend you prefer.
