Stuffed Cabbage Casserole Recipe 445

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
• 2. In the same skillet, add 1 tsp. olive oil, chopped onion, and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and paprika and cook about 2 minutes more. Add the diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and ground beef. Add water to the pan. Simmer until it is hot and slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
• 3. While it simmers, cut the cabbage in half, remove the core and any wilted outer leaves. Cut into small wedges. (Or chop coarsely into 1-inch pieces, if you prefer.)
• 4. Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven, add the cabbage and cook over medium-high heat until the cabbage is about half-cooked, turning it over several times so it all cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
• 5. When the meat and tomato sauce mixture has cooked and thickened a bit, stir in the 2 cups of cooked rice and gently combine.
• 6. Spray a 13x9" casserole dish with non-stick spray and layer half the cabbage, half the meat mixture, remaining cabbage, and remaining meat mixture. Cover tightly with foil and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 40 minutes, or until the mixture is just starting to bubble on the edges.
• 7. Remove foil and sprinkle on cheese. Bake uncovered an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to slightly brown. Serve hot.
