Stuffed Cabbage Casserole

Always on the look out for quick meals (and more than ever healthy quick meals) I came across this recipe on the world wide web. I must admit it is incredibly good. Just sweet enough and just very very good. You have to try this one, not to mention the fact that it is only about 380 calories for 1/4 of the skillet.


Ingredients:

1 lb. 96% extra lean ground beef
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
few shakes seasoning (your choice)
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
18-20 oz. tomato sauce, glass jar
1/4 cup water, as needed
3 Tablespoons ketchup
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
Cabbage, medium to small- 6 cups chopped

Directions:

Put Tablespoon evoo in pan and brown meat, onion. Add seasonings and garlic powder, to taste. Add Worcestershire sauce.

Stir in tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of water, 3 Tablespoons ketchup and 2 teaspoons brown sugar. Simmer for 15 minutes or so.

Chop cabbage. Add to meat mixture and cover. Lower the heat and cook for about 45 minuntes to an hour, until the cabbage is done. Stir it every so often and add a bit of water as needed. It should be saucy, but not soupy. Not dry at all.

Of course Michael added cheese to his, as well as japs but not me. He keeps saying this is the best meal I have ever cooked before. I have to agree you guys- sooo freakin' good. Only one thing would make it better adding cooked white rice into the entire mixture. Then it would be just like a real stuffed cabbage roll. Yummy, so yummy.

Nom, nom, nom y'all,
