Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the Beef and Onions

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
• Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Assemble the Layers

• Layer 1: Spread half of the chopped cabbage in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Layer 2: Evenly distribute the cooked beef mixture over the cabbage.
• Layer 3: Sprinkle the cooked rice on top of the beef.
• Layer 4: Pour the undrained diced tomatoes over the rice.
• Layer 5: Top with the remaining cabbage and pour the beef broth over the entire dish.

4. Bake

• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve and Enjoy

• Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
