Cabbage Roll Casserole

So this recipe is originally from my boyfriends Mother.  If you dont want to go through all the trouble cooking cabbage rolls but want all the taste then this is definitely for you.


1 1/2 lbs. ground beef                            
2 medium onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 14oz can tomato sauce
1 can water
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
4 cups of shredded cabbage
sour cream


Saute onions and garlic, brown ground beef.  Drain fat from beef.

 Add salt, pepper, tomato sauce and water.
Bring to a boil and stir in rice.  Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

 The rice mixture will thicken during this time if its too thick add more tomato sauce or a touch of water.
Place 1/2 of the cabbage in a greased baking dish; cover with 1/2 of rice mixture. Repeat layers.

Cover and bake in oven at 350 degrees for one hour.

Serve with sour cream
( can be refrigerated before baking if needed)
