  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  7. Top with the remaining sliced cabbage.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This casserole is great for meal prep. Let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze portions of this bake for later. Ensure it is completely cooled, then wrap tightly or store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • For a low-carb option, omit any breadcrumbs or starches and focus on the cabbage and beef layers.
