Description

A simple casserole version of traditional unstuffed cabbage rolls.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups)
  • 1 cup cooked white rice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the sauce. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
  5. Stir in the cooked rice.
  6. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cabbage is tender.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the sauce mixture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or pork for the ground beef.
