Lazy Lucy's Cabbage Roll Casserole

I love cabbage rolls but I've always found the thought of making them to be quite intimidating. I've heard from some people that they aren't as hard or time consuming as you might think but I don't necessarily need to find out because this casserole gives me all the yummy goodness of cabbage rolls without all the work!

Lazy Lucy's Cabbage Roll Casserole
1 lb ground meat
1 onion, chopped
1 cup rice
1 large can diced tomatoes
1/4-1/2 head of green cabbage (depending on the size)
1 cup tomato sauce
Spices of your choice (I used up some of a ranch seasoning I had on hand but I usually do some kind of Italian blend)

1. Brown ground beef with onion. Meanwhile cook rice and boil cabbage. Once rice and meat are cooked, combine meat, rice, tomatoes and spices in a large bowl.

2. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. Layer cabbage, meat mixture, cabbage, meat mixture until the dish is about 3/4 full. Top with additional spices, if desired.

3. Pour tomato sauce over top and bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes, until heated through. Or freeze for later use.

Serve topped with a dab of sour cream. Makes 6 servings.
