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

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the undrained diced tomatoes to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in the shredded cabbage. Cook, stirring, until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
  9. 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.
