Ingredients

– 1 large head of cabbage
– 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
– 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
– 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– ½ cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)


Instructions

Creating Cabbage Roll Casserole is simple and rewarding. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Cabbage: Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully separate the leaves. Boil the leaves in salted water for about 3-5 minutes until they are slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook Meat and Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
4. Add Rice and Seasonings: Stir in the uncooked rice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
5. Layer Ingredients: In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Place a layer of cabbage leaves over the sauce. Add half of the meat mixture on top, followed by another layer of cabbage. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cabbage.
6. Add Broth and Sauce: Pour the beef broth over the entire casserole. Top with the remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle cheese on top if desired.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until heated through and golden on top.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the layers set.

These steps will guide you in creating this amazing casserole effortlessly.
