Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 small green cabbage, chopped
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no pink remains, then stir in the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
2. In a bowl, mix together the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add a layer of chopped cabbage to the crockpot, then top with some of the beef mixture, some uncooked rice, and some of the tomato sauce mixture.
4. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with sauce on top.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the cabbage is tender and the rice is fully cooked.
6. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top, cover again, and let it sit for 10 minutes until melted.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Do not add too much extra liquid, or the casserole can turn overly loose and the rice may become mushy instead of tender.
