Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 3 Tablespoons Oil
  • 1 Lb Ground Beef
  • 1 Sweet Onion, chopped
  • 1 Orange Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
  • 1 Small Head Green Cabbage, cored and chopped

Pantry Items and Seasonings

  • 14 oz Can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar/Jack Cheese

Instructions

  1. Saute meat and vegetables: Heat oil in a large pan with high sides or a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, chopped onion, and orange bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and onions are translucent, about 7-10 minutes.
  2. Add garlic: Stir in the chopped garlic cloves and saute for 1 more minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add tomatoes and seasonings: Pour in the fire roasted diced tomatoes, then add smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine well. Top the mixture with the chopped cabbage, cover the pan, and let cook for 15-20 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Top with cheese and melt: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar/jack cheese evenly over the casserole. Cover the pot again and allow the cheese to melt, about 3-5 minutes. Once melted, serve the casserole warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce while cooking the beef mixture.
  • Use a mix of cheeses or substitute with mozzarella for a milder taste.
  • This dish is great for meal prep and reheats well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference, especially salt and pepper.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
