Ground Beef and Cabbage Casserole Recipe

Ground Beef and Cabbage Casserole

  • Author: Madilyn
  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

Make-ahead tip: Prepare the casserole up to a day in advance – assemble beef and cabbage layers, cover and refrigerate. Add cheese topping just before serving.

Ingredients

Scale

1 to 1½ pounds lean ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

2 teaspoons cider vinegar

1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice

1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 head cabbage (about 1½ to 2 pounds)

¾ cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, sugar (if using), cider vinegar, and diced tomatoes with juice. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, cut cabbage into wedges or coarsely chop, removing the tough inner core. Add about an inch of water and 1 teaspoon salt to a large saucepan. Add cabbage, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly.
  5. Arrange the drained cabbage in the prepared baking dish. Pour the ground beef mixture over the cabbage and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle cheese over the casserole and bake for about 5 minutes longer, until cheese has melted.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Tip: For best results, use a deep casserole dish to ensure all the delicious layers bake evenly and don’t overflow.
  • Serving suggestion: Turn this into a complete, comforting meal by pairing it with fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes on the side.
