Ingredients

  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Onion - diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic- minced
  • 1 head Green Cabbage - chopped
  • 3/4 cup Uncooked Rice we use basmati but you can use any long grain version
  • 2 cans Tomato Soup we use Campbell's - it's the best hands down!
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Sage
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium pan heat oil over medium heat, add onions and cabbage and cook until lightly translucent  (about 3 minutes), add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove to a plate.
  • Add beef to the same pan and brown meat until no longer pink (about 5 minutes) and drain off excess fat. Add 1/2 of cabbage mixture back to pan with 1 can of tomato soup, water, spices and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes. 
  • Add in rice and remove from the heat. Now you will assemble the casserole in your greased casserole dish - 9x13". 
  • Begin by pouring your meat and mixture into the casserole dish, then top with the reserved cabbage mixture. Finish off by pouring the other can of tomato soup over the top of the cabbage.
  • Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until your rice is fully cooked. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes so your casserole holds together when removing from the dish.
