Cook ground beef, green pepper, onion, and minced garlic in a skillet until meat is done. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasonings, and uncooked rice.
Spread into a greased 9X13 pan and top with chopped cabbage and shredded cheese. Cover and baked for one hour on 350 or until rice is done. 20 - 30 minutes into baking, stir all ingredients together and return back to oven. You want the juice to soak up the rice and the cabbage.
Notes
You could easily use ground turkey or ground pork in this recipe. You can also make it spicier by adding more Cajun seasoning or a couple of drops of hot sauce.
