Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 Small Onion finely diced
  • ½ cup Bell Pepper finely diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • ½ teaspoon Dill
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 14.5-ounce can Diced Tomatoes Undrained
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 teaspoon Hot Sauce Optional
  • ½ teaspoon Sugar
  • ½ cup Rice uncooked
  • 2 ½ cup Beef Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Beef Base optional for extra beef flavor
  • 4 cups Coleslaw Mix
  • ½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh Parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
    1 pound Ground Beef
  • Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
    1 Small Onion, ½ cup Bell Pepper, 3 cloves Garlic
  • Sprinkle in the paprika, oregano, thyme, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, allowing the spices to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
    2 teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano, 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme, ½ teaspoon Dill, ¾ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Add the uncooked rice, beef broth, beef base, diced tomatoes (with their juice), hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
    1 14.5-ounce can Diced Tomatoes, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 2 teaspoon Hot Sauce, ½ teaspoon Sugar, ½ cup Rice, 2 ½ cup Beef Broth, 1 teaspoon Beef Base, 4 cups Coleslaw Mix
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese (if using) over the top. Cover the skillet again and let the cheese melt for about 3-5 minutes.
    ½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese, ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep your eyes on the pot: Make sure to give the skillet a stir so everything cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Turn on the broiler for a few minutes: If the cheese isn't melty and gooey, place the skillet under the broiler for a minute or two.
Storage
  • Fridge: This cheesy cabbage casserole is perfect to make ahead. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits. Stored in an airtight container it will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge. Reheat over the stove or in the microwave in a microwave safe container.
  • Freezer: Place uneaten leftovers in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
