Ingredients

• 1 head cabbage, cored and chopped
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste

5. Top with half of the meat mixture.
   
6. Sprinkle with half of the cheeses.
