I am 60 years old and only tried this recently. Great flavors!

There’s something about the cozy hug of a hot casserole dish straight from the oven that just spells out “home,” right? Well, this Cabbage Beef Bake is like that favorite quilt at grandma’s house—it might not look fancy, but oh boy, does it do the trick on a chilly evening! Now, I’m not entirely sure about the origins of this dish. It’s one of those “what’s in the pantry” kind of miracles, a staple in the Midwest where cabbage and ground beef are common fare. If you’re strapped for time or simply hankering for a comfort meal loaded with savory goodness (and a decent serving of veggies), you’ll want to bookmark this homey classic.

Pair this hearty bake with some buttered crusty bread – perfect for sopping up any flavorful juices. A light side salad also works wonders, bringing a fresh, crisp contrast to the table. And if you’re feeling a little extra, a dollop of sour cream on top never hurts!
