Equipment

Wooden spoon or spatula
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
3 ½ pounds cabbage chopped
1 can tomato sauce 29-ounce
1 cup onion chopped
1 cup white rice uncooked
1 tsp salt
2 cans beef broth 14-ounce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, then drain the excess grease.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, tomato sauce, onion, uncooked rice, and salt.
Add the cooked ground beef to the cabbage mixture and stir until everything is evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Pour the beef broth evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
Remove from the oven, stir the casserole, cover again, and bake for 20 to 30 more minutes, until the cabbage is tender and the rice is fully cooked. Serve hot.

Notes

If the baking dish looks too full, divide the mixture between two dishes and split the broth evenly.
For extra flavor, add minced garlic, paprika, thyme, or a pinch of cayenne before baking.
