Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Cabbage (1 large, shredded)
- Ground beef (1 pound)
- Onion (1 medium, chopped)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Tomato sauce (2 cups)
- Italian seasoning (1 tablespoon)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Butter (4 tablespoons, melted)
- Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
- Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
- Breadcrumbs (1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
- In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the shredded cabbage evenly across the bottom. Top with half of the ground beef mixture.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cabbage and ground beef mixture.
- In a small bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and melted butter. Mix well and then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the comforting flavors of this hearty dish!
