Cabbage Roll Casserole

October 21, 2008 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 11 Comments

This one is for Susie H!

I LOVE Cabbage rolls-but I am not a patient, fussy cook. When I found this recipe for a quick and easy casserole-well it made my day.

Cabbage Roll Casserole

1 ½ lbs ground beef (or venison chopped up in my case)
2 onions
1 clove garlic
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 can tomato soup (or 1 can tomato sauce)
1 C water
½ C uncooked rice
4 C shredded cabbage

Chop onion and mince garlic. Brown beef, onion, and garlic together. Mix in tomato soup, salt, pepper, water and rice. Bring to a boil & simmer for 20 min.

Layer cabbage, rice mixture, cabbage, rice mixture in a greased casserole dish and cook, covered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Variations: Use 1 cup cooked rice instead of the dry rice & water. Substitute tomato juice for the tomato soup and water. Bagged “coleslaw” mix could be used, but is usually more expensive than buying cabbage & shredding it. The entire casserole could be cooked on low in the crockpot for 4 hrs.

    I do a version of this but in my crockpot. It’s RIDICULOUSLY easy.

    1 lb. ground beef
    1 medium onion, sliced
    1 medium head green cabbage (sliced or chopped roughly)
    1- 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
    1- 15 oz. can tomato sauce
    1 T. parsley or 1 T. dill
    2 bay leaves
    salt, pepper to taste (i always forget this part, but it tastes great)

    I brown the ground beef with the onion on high for a couple hours, then add everything else and leave it another 4-6 hours on high, or 6-8 on low.

    ooh! Lazy Galumkis! Seriously – this is very close to my grandmother’s Galumkis recipe but with shredded cabbage instead of rolling it. Only thing different she does is to us a combination of both ground beef and ground pork (when you can find it – its not always easy to find) so it doesn’t surprise me that it would turn out well with any ground meat…We find that having a mixture of two kinds in the actual stuffed cabbage rolls keeps it from getting a really hard texture – but that might not be as necessary when doing it this way…

    To make it easier, I don’t shred the cabbage– just chop quickly and break apart a bit.

    I made something similar last week. It’s comfort food for me since I’m Slovak and Polish.

    Okay, I’m a loser that’s never had stuffed cabbage, but I’d love to try the recipe. What’s the white stuff on top in the pic? Sour cream?

    Ok I am so making this for dinner tonight. I love golumpkis and hate rolling them. This is a great and easy way to get the same taste without the work! Thanks for the recipe!!

    Emily-I just love tasty, easy crock pot recipes. thanks for sharing.

    Susie H-You are welcome! Hope you make and enjoy it.

    Anon-I'm sure two kinds of meat would be fab, I'm just trying to use up all the venison in the freezer before I have more to stick in there 🙂

    Gil & Steph-it is totally comfort food-seems like every family has their own variation.

    Nicole-the picture is from Flickr-not my own. I'd guess it was sour cream but I don't usually serve it that way. On the other hand, what isn't better with a dollop of sour cream?

    I'm the mom-I am always looking for the easy way to do things-and although rolls look so pretty this does go together so much easier 🙂 Plus you can bulk it up w/ additional cabbage and rice if you need to spread the meat out a bit.

    Kelly-I'm so glad everyone liked it. As I said above, it is total comfort food 😉

    Lynn-I hope you enjoy it too.
