Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
• 1 small head green cabbage, chopped
• 2 cups (300g) cauliflower rice
• 1 can (15 oz/425g) tomato sauce
• 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup (120g) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 2

Add chopped cabbage and cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage begins to soften.

Step 3

Stir in tomato sauce, beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 5

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

For best results

• To save time, use pre-chopped cabbage and frozen cauliflower rice.
• For extra flavor, add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or a dash of red pepper flakes.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Variations

• Replace ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
• Use shredded cheddar or provolone instead of mozzarella.
• Add cooked bacon bits or Italian sausage for extra richness.
