How to Make Cajun Cabbage

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium green bell pepper (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  5. Top evenly with 1 medium head of cabbage (shredded) and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 65-75 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the cabbage is wilted. If desired, broil the last 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese.
