Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add the undrained diced tomatoes to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the shredded cabbage. Cook, stirring, until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a low carb option, omit the diced tomatoes and add more cabbage.
This casserole freezes well. Let it cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave.
You can prepare this casserole up to a day in advance and bake it when you’re ready to serve.
