Ingredients

1 lb Lean Ground Beef
1 head Green Cabbage
1/2 tablespoon Avocado Oil
2 cups Cauliflower Rice
1/4 cup White Onion diced
1 teaspoon Garlic minced
1/2 tablespoon Parsley
2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Egg whisked
2 cups Marinara Sauce divided
Salt to taste

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350 F. Pour 3/4 cup of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish to cover the bottom of it.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the head of cabbage to it for about 5 minutes. Drain the cabbage and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Heat the oil in a saute pan. Add the cauliflower rice, onion and garlic.
Add the remaining ingredients along with 1/2 cup of a marinara sauce except for the cabbage. Stir while breaking up the ground beef.
Peel 12 large leaves from the cabbage head. Slice a V at the bottom of the cabbage leaves to remove the hard ridge.
Prepare the cabbage rolls by adding 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture to a cabbage roll then roll it up. Tuck the side in then roll it up from the bottom like a burrito.
Repeat step six for the remaining cabbage leaves and place in the casserole dish. Pour the remaining marinara sauce on top.
Bake 1 hour covered tightly then remove and enjoy!
