Recipe Notes

• You could use other cheeses instead of cheddar cheese. Gruyere, Swiss, mozzarella or Monterey Jack would work well.

• Ground turkey or ground chicken could be substituted for the ground beef.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Cook the ground beef and onion in a skillet until beef is browned and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Add the cabbage, tomato sauce, 1 soup can of water, rice, tomatoes with green chiles, broth and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook, covered, about 20 minutes. 
3. Top with the cheese, cover and cook until cheese has melted.
