Cabbage Roll Casserole (Healthy Comfort Food)

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

1 tbsp Avocado oil (or oil of choice)

4 cloves Garlic (minced)

1 1/2 lb Ground beef

1 1/2 tsp Sea salt

1/2 tsp Black pepper

4 cups Cauliflower rice (or cooked white rice)

2 tbsp Italian seasoning

3/4 head Cabbage (chopped/shredded; ~6 cups)

3 cups Marinara sauce

3 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded; omit for paleo, dairy-free or whole 30)

Directions

Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for up to a minute, until fragrant.

Increase heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain if needed.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).

In a 9x13 in (23x33 cm) baking dish, stir together the rice cauliflower, chopped cabbage, and Italian seasoning.

When the ground beef is cooked through, stir that in. Stir in marinara sauce.

Bake for about 30 minutes, until the cabbage is crisp-tender.

Top with shredded mozzarella, if using. (If not, just continue baking without it.) Continue baking for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the cabbage is completely cooked through.
