Cabbage Roll Casserole is much easier than making traditional cabbage rolls! This yummy casserole is slowly baked and full of ground beef, rice and cabbage in a light tomato sauce. Hearty, simple to make and delicious!
“Another casserole?” This is what my older kids say when I pull yet another casserole from the oven. ? But then they always devour it and compliment me on how delicious it was. So I’ve concluded that casseroles are pretty much the best invention EVER. (Me likey compliments on my cooking!)
Sometimes they’re not much to look at, though. Like this cabbage roll casserole. It may not look like a hearty, filling, flavorful casserole – but believe me when I say that it’s better than it looks, lol!
Cook time: 2 Hr Prep time: 10 Min
Ingredients
1 medium head of cabbage shredded (I use about half of it)
1 large onion chopped
1 medium bell pepper chopped
1 can(s) Rotel tomatoes
1-2 can(s) 8 oz. tomato sauce
1-2 lb ground beef
5-6 c cooked rice
Directions
1. Prep: Shred cabbage. Chop onions and bell pepper.
2. In a large dutch oven, add ground beef, onion, bell pepper and Rotel (cooks into meat for extraordinary flavor, didn’t believe it till I did it). Cook till meat is done.
3. Then add cabbage and tomato sauces allow to cook till cabbage is done almost clear. If it needs water, add it so it stays juicy for rice. then add your rice and mix well. It is so tasty!
