Modo de preparo

Siga as etapas na ordem apresentada.

1. Begin by lightly sautéing the shredded cabbage in butter or olive oil over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes. The cabbage should soften slightly but still retain some firmness. Set aside.
2. In the same pan, brown the ground beef (or pork) with the chopped onion and minced garlic. Once the meat is fully cooked, drain off any excess grease.
3. Add the diced tomatoes, sage, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. In a casserole dish, create a base layer with half of the sautéed cabbage. Spread the beef, rice, and tomato mixture evenly over the cabbage.
5. Top with the remaining sautéed cabbage, creating a final layer. Pour the can of condensed tomato soup evenly over the entire casserole.
6. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the cabbage is tender and the casserole is heated through.
