Cabbage Roll Casserole Recipe

Step 1

In advance: Cook the rice according to package instructions and the way you normally do (I use a rice cooker). You'll need 1 cup of cooked rice.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the cabbage into thin strips. You'll need 5 cups worth.

Step 3

Heat a frying pan or oven-safe pot with a bit of cooking oil. Add in the chopped onion. Cook until the onion turns translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground beef. Cook until the ground beef is no longer pink.

Step 5

Add the cabbage, cooked rice, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes (or spaghetti sauce), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix together.

Step 6

Cover with a lid and sautee the meat mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring occassionally.

Step 7

If using a frying pan, transfer to an oven save casserole dish (my dish is oven safe). Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Step 8

Give a quick stir before dishing on to plates to serve.
