Ground Beef Is SO EASY To Cook With – Check Out These 5 AWESOME Ground Round Recipes

#2 Unstuffed Ground Beef Cabbage Casserole

Every now and then I have to pull out momma’s recipe box and make something that she did so I can feel closer to her, and of course be nostalgic with my own kids over the foods that I loved best when I was their age. Cabbage rolls was one of them, I could just never get enough. While time-consuming, the dish was always well worth it.

I usually make it in the fall, and with the season approaching I’ve stocked up on the ingredients I need. Then while browsing the internet I came across this deconstructed version that seemed great! As long as I have the same ingredients and flavors I’m in, and it saves me all that rolling and toothpick sticking!

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped

1 tbsp Bertolli olive oil, extra virgin

2 lbs ground turkey, extra lean

3 lbs cabbage, coarsely chopped

14 oz can Hunt’s tomato sauce (I used low sodium)

2 x 14 oz cans Hunt’s diced tomatoes

1 cup Uncle Ben’s brown long grain rice, uncooked

1 1/4 cups water

2 tsp Morton salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, green onions) & Greek yogurt, for serving

Directions

Preheat large deep non-stick skillet on medium heat and swirl olive oil to coat. Add onion and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium – high, add turkey and cook for 10 more minutes, breaking into small pieces and stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat to low – medium, add cabbage, cover and let it cook for a few minutes so it will be easier to stir. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, rice, water, salt, pepper and stir well. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 55 – 60 minutes. Do not open! Check if rice is cooked and if not (mine was) add 1/4 cup water, cover and cook for another 5 – 10 minutes. Serve warm topped with Greek yogurt and herbs.
