Cooking Steps
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat for about 1 minute, until shimmering.
  2. Add ground beef, diced sweet onion, and chopped orange bell pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes until beef is browned and onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute.
  4. Incorporate fire-roasted diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Carefully add chopped green cabbage to the pot, folding it gently into the mixture. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes until cabbage is tender.
  6. Once the cabbage is tender, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, cover, and let it sit for 3–5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Gently fluff the casserole with a fork to mix in the melted cheese before serving.
