I got this recipe from a good friend and have been cooking it a lot ever since. The cabbage minced meat casserole is not only delicious and inexpensive but also quick and easy to prepare.
The minced meat casserole with white cabbage is ready to serve after around 30 to 40 minutes. In my experience, kids like it just as much as adults. Due to the uncomplicated preparation, this casserole is also very suitable for beginners in the field of cooking.
Ingredients for 4 persons
– 1 head (approx. 800 g) of white cabbage or savoy (depending on taste)
– 1 large onion
– 500 g minced meat (half and half)
– 500 g chopped tomatoes (fresh or from the package)
– 375 ml vegetable broth
– 100 g of grated cheese
– some oil (for frying)
– Salt
– Pepper
– Sweet paprika)
Preparation of minced meat casserole with white cabbage
The cabbage (or savoy cabbage) is cut into strips and washed well. Then it is fried in a little oil for about 5 minutes, stirring and turning constantly, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
At the same time, the finely diced onion is also fried with minced meat and seasoned (salt, pepper, paprika powder).
When the minced meat is crumbly-brown, add the tomato pieces and the broth. Bring everything to the boil briefly and then let it dwell on the stove at medium temperature for a few minutes. Then it should be seasoned again with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Now all the ingredients (including the cabbage or savoy cabbage) are put together in a greased casserole dish and placed in the preheated oven (electric stove: 200 degrees/convection oven: 175 degrees).
Leave in the oven for a total of about 20 minutes. After about 10 – 15 minutes, the casserole is taken out and the grated cheese sprinkled over it. Then put it back in the oven and continue cooking until the end of the specified time. The cheese should be well melted and browned.
If you like, you can serve boiled potatoes with it.
Useful additional knowledge about the minced meat casserole
It also tastes very good if you cut the potatoes (raw) into small cubes beforehand, put them in the casserole dish together with the other ingredients, and cook them in the oven. Depending on your taste, you can also add a cup of sweet cream.
