Notes
- Use any favorite neutral cooking oil or butter to sauté the cabbage.
- Add diced red bell peppers.
- Green cabbage is best and be sure to remove the core and any tough stems before sautéing.
- Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if desired..
- Swap the ground beef for ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork or you can leave the meat out or use a meatless crumble for a vegetarian casserole.
- Use brown rice or white rice. Brown rice will take longer to cook.
- Use any favorite shredded cheese besides cheddar or leave the cheese out all together. Mozzarella cheese, colby jack, pepper jack, havarti, fontina, are all great to use. Shredding the cheese off the block melts the best.
