Description
This is an easier way than preparing your standard cabbage rolls, this way you will skip all the work and make it in one dish and you can prepare ahead, freeze or keep in the fridge for 2 days.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 500g lean ground beef
- 4 large strips of bacon
- 4 large cremini mushrooms
- 1/2 onion
- 1 tsp of crushed garlic
- Salt **
- Pepper
- 1/4 of medium cabbage (you can use more if you wish to feed more people)
- 3/4 cup of 2% milk (but you can also use cream or plain Greek yogurt). We do not carry cream or plain yogurt and I had 2% milk, so that's what I used).
- 3 eggs
- 1-1 1/2 cups of crated cheddar (you can add more if you love cheese.
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Lightly cover the base of your pan with oil and fry the diced onion until soft and starting to turn brown.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, diced bacon, and continue to fry until it is soft and brown.
- Add finely sliced cabbage and minced garlic and fry until the cabbage is just starting to go soft, but not soggy.
- You still need some crunch.
- Spice to your liking with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Remove from the pan and place it in an oven-proof dish but remove the excess liquid to avoid a watery casserole.
- Next, if required, add another small amount of oil to the pan and fry the ground beef, and flavor with salt and pepper. Again, do not over-spice.
- Once done add the beef on top of the cabbage mixture, but again remove the excess liquid.
- Lightly whisk together the eggs and cream/mix/yogurt (whichever you prefer) and then pour over the cabbage and meat mixture.
- Generously cover it with grated cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350F / 180C until egg set and cheese melted and have a nice toasted topping.
- Serve immediately with some fresh salad or as we did, just some fruit salad.
Notes
** Be cautious not to add a lot of salt as you already use bacon which is salty.
Dash of cayenne pepper.
