Ingredients

Scale

2 teaspoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound ground beef (90% lean recommended)
1 onion finely diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 cups coarsely chopped green cabbage
2 carrots peeled, quartered and sliced
4 cups beef broth
3 8 ounce cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons parsley

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until beef is browned, approximately 4-5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic; cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cabbage, carrots, beef broth, tomato sauce, rice, bay leaf, and brown sugar to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove bay leaf and discard.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
If you use brown rice instead of white rice, expect about 20 more minutes of cook time.
