Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, browning them together while draining any excess fat.
  3. Mix in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook for another minute.
  4. Toss in the chopped cabbage and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and heavy cream (or milk). Mix until smooth.
  6. Pour the sauce over the beef and cabbage mixture; stir gently to coat evenly.
  7. Transfer the mixture to your greased baking dish. Sprinkle the top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
