Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head of cabbage, shredded
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they are softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 3: Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, cooked meat mixture, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Step 5: Transfer the cabbage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- Step 6: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm. Enjoy your Easy Crispy Cabbage Burger Bake!
Notes
- For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze portions for up to a month for a quick meal later.
- When reheating, cover the baking dish with foil and warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, or use the microwave for individual servings, adding a splash of water to retain moisture.
- Serve your Easy Crispy Cabbage Burger Bake with a dollop of sour cream or a side of tangy coleslaw for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
- For best results, ensure the cabbage is well-drained after shredding to prevent excess moisture from making the bake soggy; this will help achieve that perfect crispy topping!
