3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (with juice)

1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Start with the chopped cabbage.
Add the browned meat, onions, garlic, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and rice (if using).
Pour in the broth.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cover and cook:
On LOW for 6–8 hours
Or on HIGH for 3–4 hours
(Rice should be tender and cabbage soft.)
Stir and serve!
Ladle into bowls and enjoy as-is, or serve with crusty bread or a dollop of sour cream.
🍽️ Why This Dish Works
This recipe is essentially a lazy version of stuffed cabbage rolls, with none of the rolling and all of the comfort. The cabbage becomes tender and slightly sweet as it cooks, soaking up the savory tomato-meat flavor. The rice (if you add it) gives it a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs feel. And the best part? It makes your house smell amazing all day long.
