Cabbage Roll Casserole

  Today I had a craving for stuffed cabbage rolls, but being a little tired and lazy I decided to make this Cabbage Roll Casserole from Everyday Mom's Meals.  I changed the recipe a little to make it more to the family's liking.  I will write how I made it and you can get the original recipe from the link about. 

Cabbage Roll Casserole
1 lb. ground beef
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. dill weed
1 cup cooked rice
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease a 9x13 pan.  Saute beef, onion and garlic over medium heat. 

 

Stir in 1 can of tomato sauce and seasonings.

 

Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in rice and heat through.Remove from heat.

Layer 1/3 of cabbage in pan.  Top with 1/2 meat mixture.  Repeat layers.  Top with one can of tomato sauce.

 Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.  Uncover and top with cheese.  Bake for 10 minutes more.  Delicious.
