Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1 large head Green Cabbage, chopped into 1-inch squares
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (full fat is best)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (adds richness)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (divided)
- 1 Large Egg (crucial to set the sauce)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped cabbage and sauté for 10–12 minutes. The cabbage should shrink by half and start to brown. Drain any liquid remaining in the pot to avoid a soggy casserole.
- In a separate skillet, brown the ground beef and chopped onion until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, egg, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, mix the sautéed cabbage, browned beef, creamy sauce, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and golden. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving, so the sauce thickens up nicely.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese and sour cream for the best richness.
- Drain excess liquid from the cabbage to prevent a soggy casserole.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to thicken the sauce.
