This KETO CABBAGE CASSEROLE is rich, hearty, and cheesy! Made with ground beef, canned tomatoes, cheddar, and cabbage, it’s an easy weeknight meal that’s ready in about half an hour.

You may have noticed by now that I’m a sucker for a cheesy casserole.
There is just something about a warm bowl of cheesy comfort food that I can not resist.
Also, I live in the Midwest (born and raised!) and casseroles are a whole thing out here. 😉
This cabbage casserole recipe is so simple, hearty, and filling.
Plus, it has just enough cheese and ground beef that the kids love it too! I love when the kids are on board with my low carb dinners – makes life so much easier!

How to:
Start by browning up a pound of ground beef.
Once you’ve got the meat crumbled up, stir in some onion and garlic and let those cook until softened.
Stir in chopped cabbage, canned diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Season it up with an Italian seasoning blend, salt, and pepper.

You’ll want to cover this and let it cook for about 15 minutes so the cabbage gets good and soft.
Turn the heat off, top with some shredded cheddar, and then put the lid back on to let that cheese get all gooey and melty.
We like to garnish this with fresh parsley just before serving.
This meal is so hearty and satisfying.
The cabbage softens up nicely and the whole dish is nice and cheesy.
You could use mozzarella instead of cheddar if you prefer, but we love the taste of cheddar in this recipe.

Is there a reason you do not drain the grease from hamburger? Is is part of the Keto zdiet high fat ? I did and used not fat cheese, as well as no salt added tomatoes and sauce still great ! Thanks great recipe

We use lean beef so there is really no fat to drain after also cooking the onion in it. You’re welcome to drain it if you like.

VERY yummy! Great comfort food and great meal to “swap” out the noodles you’d predictably put in for cabbage.
I did follow one reviewer’s suggestion and use 15 oz of sauce; I also prefer saucier dishes.
I also added some crushed red pepper and on a whim at the end I added a big ole scoop of sour cream. It was great!
