Cabbage Roll Casserole

Cabbage Roll Casserole
Book: Steve's Diabetic Recipe Book ll
Chapter: Main
Serves: 8
Tastes a lot like Holubki but a lot easier.

2 pounds ground beef
1 cup chopped onions
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
2 pounds rough chopped cabbage
1 cup uncooked rice
2 14-ounce cans beef broth

Preheat oven to 350°

Brown the ground beef in a frying pan. (a little pink is OK) Tilt pan and use 2 paper towels to remove most of the rendered fat. Don't drain in a colander because the dish needs a little fat.

In a 9 X 13 or larger baking dish, layer 1/3 the cabbage, 1/2 the onion, 1/2 the ground beef, 1/2 the rice and 1/2 the tomato sauce.

Create a second layer and top with the last third of the cabbage.

Press the casserole down with hands.

Pour in 1 1/2 to 2 cans of the broth. (in a 9 X 13 it won't take much more)

Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes.

Check the casserole. If dry, stir a little bit and add more broth or water. Test tenderness of the rice. It probably needs another 15-30 minutes. Don't overcook.

Serve with catsup, just like Holubki.
