Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Beef and Onion:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil or butter.
   • Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
   • Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, oregano, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well.
3. Prepare the Cabbage:
   • While the beef is cooking, chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
   • In a separate large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil or butter over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped cabbage and cook until tender and slightly caramelized, about 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. Combine Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture and the cooked cabbage. Mix well.
5. Assemble the Casserole:
   • Transfer the beef and cabbage mixture to a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.
   • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are slightly golden.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cheese set a bit and make serving easier.

Enjoy your keto Runza casserole! It’s a hearty, satisfying dish that’s perfect for a low-carb meal.
