Notes
Savory Cabbage Beef Bake is best enjoyed warm, served on its own or with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad. For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese on top before baking or garnish with fresh herbs like parsley. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage.
