Description

Beef and cabbage are baked with rice and tomatoes in this lazy version of golumpki, a traditional Polish cabbage and beef dish.

Ingredients

1 head green cabbage, cut into bite-size pieces
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups water
1 cup white rice
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed tomato soup (such as Campbell's®)
1 (32 ounce) container crushed tomatoes (such as Hunt's®)

Directions

1 Boil cabbage in a stockpot until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
2 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix salt, parsley, onion powder, and black pepper into ground beef.
3 Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir tomato soup and crushed tomatoes together in a bowl.
4 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5 Combine cabbage, seasoned ground beef, rice, and tomato mixture together in a bowl; transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 45 minutes.
