I am 60 years old and only tried this recently. Great flavors!

– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 3 cups cabbage, chopped
– 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
– 1 cup cooked rice
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
– 1/2 cup beef broth

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Start by greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish.

2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is tender.

3. Drain any excess fat, because honestly, who needs that? And stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

4. Next, layer half of the chopped cabbage into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the beef and onion mixture over the cabbage and then sprinkle with the cooked rice. Pour over the diced tomatoes, with their juice, to marry all those flavors.

5. Add the remaining cabbage on top and gently pour the beef broth over the entire dish, which gives it that fabulous moisture.

6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. We’re building anticipation here!

7. Remove the foil, sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden—because golden cheese is the stuff of dreams.
