Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up while you prep the ingredients.

  5. Return the beef to the skillet, add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together.
Baking
  1. Spread the beef and cabbage mixture into a greased baking dish. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top.
  2. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
  4. Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy your delicious Cabbage Beef Bake!
