📋 FULL RECIPE:
**Ingredients:**
* 1 lb ground beef
* 1 small head cabbage, chopped
* 1 cup cooked white rice
* 1 small onion, diced
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 can diced tomatoes
* 1½ cups tomato sauce
* ½ cup beef broth
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* ½ tsp salt
* ½ tsp black pepper
* 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
* Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart, until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
4. Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for 5–6 minutes, until it begins to wilt.
5. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Fold in the cooked rice.
7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
8. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
9. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
10. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
11. For extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
12. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
💛 Hearty, cheesy, and packed with flavor — this casserole is stuffed cabbage made easy!
🌿 Tip: Let the cabbage cook down slightly before adding the rice — it keeps the finished casserole from turning watery.
