Creating Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls (No Roll) is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a delicious meal:

1. Prepare the Cabbage: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chopped cabbage and blanch for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
4. Mix Ingredients: Add the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Combine with Cabbage: In a large baking dish, layer half of the cabbage on the bottom. Spoon half of the meat mixture over the cabbage. Repeat with the remaining cabbage and meat mixture.
6. Add Cheese: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top for a melty finish.
7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the dish to bubble.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
