1

Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and stir until a soft ball forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until elastic, 3 to 4 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm, dry spot for about 1 hour.
2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3

Make the filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook and stir the beef and the onion until the beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes; drain and discard the grease. Add the cabbage; cook and stir until it is steamed and wilted, about 10 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4

Split the dough in half. Roll each portion to fit an 8-inch square baking dish. Press one crust into the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Spoon the beef mixture into the crust and top with the cheese slices. Place the second crust over the cheese layer; pinch the edges of both crusts together to seal.
5

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and continue baking until the filling is hot, about 10 more minutes. Let stand for about 5 minutes before cutting.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
