Instructions
-
Begin by chopping the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large Dutch oven. Ensure that the cabbage is well-prepared for cooking, as this will provide the base for your casserole.
-
-
Cover the chopped cabbage with water and bring it to a boil. Allow it to simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until the cabbage becomes tender, ensuring that you achieve the right texture for your dish.
-
While the cabbage is boiling, heat a skillet over medium-high heat to brown the ground beef. Make sure to drain the meat thoroughly to eliminate excess fat, which will keep the casserole lighter and enhance the overall flavor.
-
Once both the cabbage and beef are ready, combine them in a large mixing bowl. This is where the magic happens as the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
In a 13x9x2-inch baking dish, layer one-third of the meat and cabbage mixture evenly across the bottom.
-
Next, open a can of stewed tomatoes and spread one-third of it over the meat mixture. The juicy tomatoes will add moisture and richness to the casserole.
-
Sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese over the tomatoes, allowing it to create a creamy layer that binds the dish together.
-
Repeat the layering process two more times, ensuring that you finish with the final layer of cheese on top to achieve that glorious melted finish.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the casserole uncovered for one hour. During this time, the flavors will intensify, and the cheese will become golden and bubbly.
-
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the layers to set slightly, making it easier to slice and serve.
