Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 head cabbage
  • 8 oz carrots
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 24 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Notes

  • Store leftover casserole for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet.

  • Use lean ground beef to prevent extra grease.
