Cabbage Casserole
Prep Time 20 minutes Cook Time 30 minutes Rest time 10 minutes Total Time 1 hour Servings 6 servings Calories 281 kcal
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium green cabbage,
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. 85% lean ground beef
1 medium onion,
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (26 oz container) Pomi chopped tomatoes, drained
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart (7 X 11-inch) baking dish with olive oil. 2. Place the chopped cabbage in a colander. Wash it but do not dry. The water adhering to the cabbage will allow it to steam. Place in a large pot, cover, and turn heat to high. When cabbage starts to steam, lower heat to medium and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. 3. Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and the onion and cook until beef is browned, about 5 minutes, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic, paprika, thyme and cayenne and cook 30 seconds, stirring. 4. Add the drained tomatoes, salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, 5-10 minutes, or until liquids have evaporated. Turn heat off and stir in the cooked cabbage until well-incorporated. 5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing on it to flatten. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes, until casserole is bubbly and cheese is browned. Carefully tilt baking dish into the sink and pour out any extra liquid. Allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
