Unstuffed Cabbage
Posted: December 21st, 2009, 9:37 am
I make this instead of stuffed cabbage rolls because it less fussy to make.
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound extra lean ground sirloin
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup cooked rice (optional)
1 small head cabbage, shredded
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick spray (Pam).
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon until liquid evaporates and the beef begins to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and rice; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Spoon half the meat mixture in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish. Top with all of the cabbage then top this with the last of the meat mixture. Cover with foil and bake until filling is hot and bubbly and the cabbage is very tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
