Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish for a seamless casserole experience. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and blanch them in the boiling water for about 2–3 minutes, or until they are pliable. Transfer the leaves to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat them dry with paper towels. 3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic until they become translucent and aromatic, infusing the kitchen with a delightful fragrance. 4. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is browned and fully cooked. Season the meat with dried oregano, basil, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. 5. Stir in the cooked rice and diced tomatoes (undrained) into the meat mixture, allowing the ingredients to harmonize and create a symphony of textures and tastes. 6. In a separate bowl, combine the tomato sauce and tomato paste, creating a luscious tomato sauce that will envelop the casserole in rich, tangy goodness. 7. Assemble the casserole by placing a layer of the blanched cabbage leaves at the bottom of the greased baking dish. Let the tender cabbage create a bed of comfort for the other ingredients. 8. Spread half of the meat and rice mixture over the cabbage leaves, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. 9. Drizzle half of the tomato sauce over the meat layer, allowing it to permeate through every layer, creating a delightful taste. 10. Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of cabbage leaves, followed by the remaining meat and rice mixture and the rest of the tomato sauce. The layers come together to form a symphony of flavors that will delight your palate. 11. To add a melodic touch, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole, creating a golden, gooey crust that will beckon you to take a bite. 12. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt into a tantalizing symphony of textures. 13. After the allotted baking time, remove the foil and bake the casserole for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese becomes gloriously bubbly and golden. 14. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to settle and intensify, ensuring that each bite is a true delight.
