Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 cup Bacon chopped and cooked
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 3 cloves cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 heads medium green cabbage coarsely chopped
- 14.5 oz. can petite diced tomatoes with juice
- 15 oz. can tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 1/2 cups cooked white rice or brown rice
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick spray, 9x13 or 10x13.
- Place a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through. Break it apart as it cooks with a wooden spoon. Once done, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same pan, add one tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion. Cook until translucent, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, basil, and smoked paprika, and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the ground beef back to the pan. Stir.
- Add broth, stir, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the cabbage by cutting it in half, removing the core and any wilted leaves, and chopping it into 1-inch pieces.
- Add the remaining olive oil to a large Dutch oven or frying pan, and add the cabbage. Cook over medium-high heat until the cabbage is wilted and about half cooked, stirring a few times. Season with salt and pepper.
- When the meat mixture has thickened, stir in the 2 1/2 cups of cooked rice and gently stir to combine.
- Layer half of the cabbage on the bottom of the casserole dish, top with half of the meat mixture, half of the cooked bacon, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and then add the remaining cabbage and meat mixture on top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for around 40-45 minutes.
- Uncover and add the rest of the bacon and cheese on top. Bake uncovered until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about ten more minutes.
- Remove it from the oven, let it cool for 15 minutes, slice, and serve.
