Making Cabbage Beef Bake is a simple process when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add Vegetables: Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Incorporate Cabbage: Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook until it wilts, about 5 minutes.
5. Mix Ingredients: Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juice), cooked rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Cool Slightly: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Cabbage Beef Bake that is sure to impress.
