🛒 Ingredients
For the Casserole:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small head green cabbage, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil, if needed
Optional Topping:
- 2 tbsp sugar-free burger sauce

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
2. Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the meat, until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
3. Add the Flavor: Stir in garlic, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute.
4. Cook the Cabbage: Add chopped cabbage to the skillet. Cook for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften. If needed, add a splash of water and cover briefly to help it steam.
5. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the beef and cabbage mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella evenly over the top.
6. Bake: Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
7. Serve: Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. Add chopped pickles, parsley, or a drizzle of sugar-free burger sauce before serving.
