Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
- 1 pound ground pork or beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in the drained sauerkraut, cooked rice, caraway seeds, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined, and let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the savory mixture to a greased casserole dish. If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the top for a deliciously gooey finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, serve warm, and relish the comforting flavors of your hearty creation!
