Description
A nostalgic yet modern one-dish dinner that combines savory ground meat and crunchy topped cabbage with a golden cheese crust.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef or turkey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Head cabbage, sliced thick
- 1 Onion, medium, chopped
- 1 Egg, large
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika, Smoked
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Cheese, shredded (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, sautéed onion and garlic, thick cabbage slices, egg, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Substituting ground turkey for beef reduces fat; low-fat cheese can cut calories. For added flavor, a splash of soy sauce can replace Worcestershire in a pinch.
