If you love stuffed cabbage rolls, then you will love this. It is exactly the same taste in half of the time.

One of my favorite dinners growing up was Cabbage Rolls. Often my Mom did not work when I was growing up and she had a lot of time to cook dinner, she would make these wonderful cabbage rolls. Tender cabbages stuffed with a seasoned hamburger and rice mixture, and these were covered with a slightly sweet tomato sauce. I work so its really hard for me to come home and prepare a dish like this, and eat the meal that evening. This casserole has all of the flavor of the cabbage rolls without all of the work.

Cabbage Roll Casserole

Cabbage rolls taste so good, but can require a lot of work. This casserole is easy to make and does not require all of the hard work cabbage rolls.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can (29 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 3.5 pounds Cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice - not instant
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cans of beef broth (14 ounce)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet, brown beef in oil over medium high heat until redness is gone. Drain off fat. In a large mixing bowl combine the onion, tomato sauce, cabbage, rice and salt. Add the drained meat into the mixing bowl and mix all together. Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Pour broth over meat mixture and bake in the preheated oven, covered, for one hour. Stir, replace cover and bake for another 30 minutes.

    Is the rice ‘instant’ or reg long grain? Thank you. This looks so yummy!

      I prepared this with regular long grain rice. No instant rice needed.

      I used regular long grain rice.

    I love this recipe and have made it twice now with my own revisions. I use V-8 juice with beef broth added and also use garlic, salt and pepper. We eat it with parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top. So delicious!! Thank you!!

    • Stephanie Manley

      I bet it is fabulous with V-8 juice. I know when I make chili with that it is even better.

    Love anything with cabbage and ground beef. This was great! I also tried the recipe substituting sweet Italian sausage (removed from casing) for the ground beef. Tried it a third time adding little red potatoes with the ground beef. All were tasty.

    OMG! I came here to look up the meat grinder post for the post I’m editing today and saw this! My post is about Asian Stuffed Cabbage Bundles! How funny is that?

    This casserole looks great! I’m going to have to try that next time.

    This recipe is a fabulous idea. I can’t believe how easy!!! My family loves stuffed cabbage but it is so time consuming that I only make it for special occasions. Now I can make it any night of the week! I also think that it would make a wonderful and unusual covered dish, thanks a bunch!

      There is a print screen button you may want to use, it looks like a printer. This produces the photo and recipe text only.

    I used to make a skillet casserole very similar to this by adding the cabbage and other ingredients to the browned beef. Tomato paste was used instead of tomato sauce. Very tasty and off the stove top.

    “Drain off fat In a large mixing bowl combine the onion, tomato sauce, cabbage, rice and salt. Add meat and mix all together. ” Does this mean that you are mixing the onion, tomato sauce etc in with the fat in the mixing bowl?

    • http://www.copykat.com Stephanie

      I have made modification for clarity. There is not need to drain the meat fat into the mixing bowl. Please drain the meat fat, and do with it whatever you normally do. If the recipe is still not clear, please let me know.
