Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 28 ounce canned diced tomatoes
  • 8 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram or oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 head cabbage (small to medium)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a deep sauté pan, dutch oven or braiser over medium heat. Add the ground beef, salt and pepper.  Brown the beef and drain any extra grease.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and cook until translucent. 

  3. 3

    Add the rice and toast for a minute or two. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, soy sauce, beef broth and seasonings.

  4. 4

    Cut the cabbage into bite sized pieces and add to pan.  

  5. 5

    Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.  If it starts to look dry, add a bit more broth or water. If after 20 minutes it looks a little loose, simmer for a few minutes with the lid off.  Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with mozzarella and either put the lid on to melt or place under the broiler for a minute or two to brown.
