Provided by Becky Lightsey

Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb ground beef
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 can(s) (10 0z) rotel tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
1 can(s) (8 oz) tomato sauce
1/2 c long-grain rice, uncooked
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 small head cabbage, chopped
1 c colby cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown together the beef, green pepper, onion, and garlic until the meat is no longer pink and the vegetables have softened, about 8 minutes. Drain liquid from pan.
  • 3. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, rice, salt, basil, oregano, and the cayenne, white, and black pepper (adding more pepper to taste, if desired). Spread mixture into an ungreased 9x12-inch baking pan. Top with cabbage and Colby cheese.
  • 4. Cover and bake in preheated oven for 65 to 75 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

Tips:

  • For a crispy casserole, use fresh cabbage. If using store-bought shredded cabbage, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the casserole.
  • To add more flavor to the casserole, try using a variety of cheeses. A good combination is cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
  • If you like a spicy casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cabbage, or it will become mushy. The casserole is done when the cabbage is tender but still has a little bit of crunch.
  • Serve the casserole immediately with a side of cornbread or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Cajun cabbage casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With its crispy top, cheesy interior, and flavorful Cajun seasoning, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
