Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds ground beef
1 medium head green cabbage, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
1 cup sour cream
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2:

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess grease.

Step 3:

Add diced onion and garlic to the beef. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4:

Stir in chopped cabbage and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5:

In a bowl, mix heavy cream, sour cream, and cream soup. Combine with the beef and cabbage mixture. Transfer to baking dish, top with cheeses, and bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until bubbly and golden

Notes

Do not overcook the cabbage on the stovetop. It will continue to soften in the oven, and overcooking can make it mushy.
