Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head green cabbage chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cans 15 oz each tomato sauce
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Layer half of the chopped cabbage in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, diced onion, and minced garlic, then spread this mixture over the cabbage layer.
  4. Top with the remaining cabbage, spreading it evenly over the beef mixture.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the entire casserole, making sure the liquid reaches all edges.
  7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 60-75 minutes, until the rice is tender and the cabbage is soft.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
