Ingredients

• 1 large head Green cabbage
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and separate the leaves. Blanch the leaves in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, cooked white rice, the sautéed onions and garlic, egg, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to create the tomato mixture.

Step 6

In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the tomato mixture on the bottom.

Step 7

Place a layer of blanched cabbage leaves over the sauce. Spread half of the meat and rice mixture evenly over the cabbage. Top with another layer of cabbage leaves.

Step 8

Repeat the layers by adding the remaining meat and rice mixture, followed by another layer of cabbage leaves. Finish with the remaining tomato mixture spread evenly over the top.

Step 9

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
