Description
A delicious low carb alternative to traditional stuffed cabbage rolls, featuring layers of tender cabbage, savory meat, and rich tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cabbage, chopped
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Chop the cabbage into bite-size pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Lightly oil a large casserole dish.
- In a large skillet, add the ground beef or turkey and diced onion. Cook over medium heat, breaking the meat apart until browned, about 8–12 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- In the prepared casserole dish, spread half of the chopped cabbage in an even layer. Spoon half of the meat and tomato mixture over the cabbage. Repeat with the remaining cabbage and meat mixture. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, sauté the garlic with the onion before adding the meat. Let it rest after baking to slice cleanly.
