Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of green cabbage chopped (red cabbage works too)
  • 1 large peeled and grated carrot
  • 1 pound ground beef or chicken mince for a lighter option
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese optional for dairy-free version
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese optional for dairy-free version
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 medium onion diced (or 1 teaspoon onion powder)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Crispy bacon bits for topping or parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
  2. Cook the ground beef in a large pan over medium heat until browned, then drain off any extra fat.
  3. Add the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, minced garlic, and diced onion to the pan, cooking until the cabbage softens slightly and the onions become clear.
  4. Stir in the tomato sauce, cream cheese, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until all the cheese has melted smoothly; season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, omit the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. You can use vegan cheese alternatives or nutritional yeast to keep a cheesy flavor without dairy.
