Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Casserole
1 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
salt & pepper, to taste
3/4 c. Minute rice
2 (8oz) cans tomato sauce
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 oz) can sauerkraut, drained and rinsed well ...(optional) ...We like it better without the sauerkraut.....
Preheat oven to 375
Spray medium sized roaster with cooking spray.
Cover bottom of roaster with 3/4 of the sliced cabbage.
Brown hamburger and onion, until hamburger is cooked through and the onion is tender. Drain excess grease. Add 1 can of tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and rice. Stir to combine and pour over cabbage.
Cover beef mixture with remaining cabbage. Pour diced tomatoes with their juice over the cabbage and top cabbage with sauerkraut. Pour remaining can of tomato sauce over the sauerkraut, cover roaster with foil and place in oven.
Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until cabbage is tender and most of the moisture is absorbed.
