Cabbage Beef Bake: A Comforting & Hearty Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks.

Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

3. Sauté the Onion and Garlic
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

4. Cook the Cabbage
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet with the onions and garlic.

Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is slightly softened.

5. Add Tomato Sauce and Seasonings
Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.

Let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

6. Assemble the Casserole
In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the cooked ground beef evenly.

Spread the cabbage and tomato mixture over the top.

7. Add Cheese and Topping
Sprinkle cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs for an extra crispy finish.

8. Bake the Casserole
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Serve and Enjoy!
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.
