Ingredients

• 1 cup White rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 cups Green cabbage
• 0.5 pound Ground beef
• 1 small Onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

Step 2

Chop the green cabbage into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Set your rice cooker to the 'Sauté' mode (if available) or use a pan on the stovetop. Add the vegetable oil and cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked ground beef. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the rinsed rice, water, crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the rice cooker. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Close the rice cooker lid and set it to the standard 'Cook' mode. Allow it to cook until the rice cooker automatically switches to 'Warm' mode (approximately 30-35 minutes for most rice cookers).

Step 8

Once the cooking cycle is complete, open the lid and carefully fluff the casserole with a fork. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Close the lid again and let the heat from the rice cooker melt the cheese for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Rice Cooker Cabbage Casserole!
