Cabbage Beef Casserole (Ww 5 Points)

I love cabbage rolls/golumpki's and that's what this recipe reminds me of. I was a little skeptical about the dill, but I do love dill flavoring so I went with it. I doubled the water as other suggested, and I don't know what it turns out without doubling, but it was VERY watery. As a personal preference I might try adding another cup of cabbage as I didn't find this very filling. Then again I'm JUST starting WW. So I need to shrink my stomach. According to the new Points Plus WW Calculator its 6 points per serving.

The longer this dish sits the better it tastes! We enjoyed it for dinner but thought the leftovers were even better. I used a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce and instant rice. I didn't add the sugar and used a 16 ounce bag of coleslaw mix. I covered the mixture for the first 45 minutes and then stirred it. It seemed dry so I added another 1/2 cup of water. I also tasted it and it seemed a bit bland so I added some pepper too. I then cooked uncovered for the remaining 45 minutes. I used swiss cheese. Next time I would add more seasonings to the mixture.

Wonderful! We used shredded roast leftovers in place of the ground beef and replaced the bouillon & water with beef stock. On the advice of other reviewers, we also added 3/4 C more liquid and stirred the casserole a couple of times while baking. We'll definitely make this again.

We loved this. Easy to put together, slip in the oven and forget about it. 90 minutes later---ENJOY! I did double the amount of water due to the other reviews. It was perfect!

We all loved this recipe - I can't say enough about it! It was even good left over and the hubby wanted third helpings. The only thing I changed was to stir about halfway through and add another 3/4 cup of water, as per instructions of other reviewers. Hubby said I can make this as often as I want :) Thanks again!

We REALLY like this! I used cooked brown rice and added hot sauce. Half went into the freezer but we loved the half we ate. Thanks for this one!

This recipe worked wonderfully for us. Not without the suggestions of other reviewers though. Several said it was abit dry & I didn't want to make more work for myself by having to pre-cook my rice so instead of dry bouillon & water I used liquid (homemade) beef broth & vegy broth, about 1 1/2 cups. Also, to ensure even cooking, I stirred the mixture while it was in the oven. For my own preference I added more worcestershire & doubled the ground beef. I don't like my cabbage crunchie so I added it to the beef/onion pan to cook for 1-2 mins. It said to season the cooked beef/onion so I experimented abit by adding some montreal steak seasoning, essence spice & of course minced garlic. There was tons of flavour and lots of hmmmmms going on around the table. Thanks so much for sharing.

I don't know if I even have a right to rate this recipe as I did change it quite a bit... I used spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce. I used brown rice and precooked it. It really came out wonderfully. It still needed a little something so we just added a few splashes of tabasco to taste. Thank you for the recipe!

This was really good, I thought it was very flavorful, I did double the water amount though. Turned out perfect, for me at least.

After reading some reviews, I decided to use cooked rice (1 cup). I didn't have beef bouillon so I used chicken. I omitted the sugar. And the cheese I used was swiss (reduced-fat). It was so tasty. We all loved this. Thanks Redsie. Made for Healthy Choices tag.

I thought this would be so good, but it was pretty bland. The cabbage kind of made it watery. I will try it again with more spices, maybe some taco seasoning? Not sure but I will try it again, thanks for a good base to work from.

Hi Redsie! I think this recipe is the best! We enjoyed it thoroughly! Of course, I made a few changes after I read other people's reviews! First, I cooked the rice ahead of time, used Splenda in place of sugar, I mixed my ground beef and onion after browning with the tomato mixture for a few minutes & then poured over the cabbage, reduced the amount of water, added a sprinkling or two of crushed red pepper flakes and added Lorraine Swiss cheese. The dish came out nice and moist and I tripled the recipe so as to have enough for some of the nursing staff and it was enjoyed by all! Thanks so much for posting - I reviewed this for "I Recommend. . .A New Thread" at TeresaS's recommendation, Diane :)

I made this the other night and it was very good. I think I will add a can of tomatoes, turkey sausage and replace the rice with cauliflower to lower the carbs. We used instant brown rice instead of regular brown rice, it did not come out dry (like others had problems with). We also covered the casserole. I like to take a recipe and work it into our family and this is a wonderful one to work with. Thanks for a keeper!

Delicious! Remember to cover the pan before baking, unless you like dry, crunchy casserole (we didn't--I covered it, added more water and baked it another 45 minutes). Prepared one pan exactly as posted, and was very pleased with the results. I was very careful about pouring the tomato sauce mixture evenly over the entire dish so that every part of it was moistened. Used 1/2 a small head of cabbage, but I could have gone for more cabbage, so maybe 2/3rds-3/4ths next time? Also prepared a 2nd pan of this at the same time, using a smaller, deeper Pyrex dish and no meat, and it turned out well. Will make this again this year, and in the years to come when cabbage is in season. Thank you for sharing!

Mmmm Good! And so easy to make. This is sort of like stuffed cabbage but no stuffing required! I made it as posted, but added 1/2 tsp fennel seed; used the swiss cheese option which was just perfect. I wonder if you can combine the sauce mixture with the browned meat/onions instead of pouring the sauce over separately? Great recipe Redsie.

Fantastic- the entire family loved it! I made it with lower fat cheese and 93% lean meat.

Oh, my! This is really delicious! I used the Swiss cheese and I thought it was the perfect cheese for this casserole. I love this just as it is, but I think I'll try some caraway seeds in this next time. Yum! Thanx for posting!!!

Excellent!! DH said this is "Man Food". Based on other reviews I cooked my brown rice first. Guess you could used instant. I also decreased the water. There is just the two of us, so I cut the recipe in half and used an 8x8 pan. Worked great. Cooked it for only 1 hour. This is a quick and easy throw together dish for busy days. I plan to make this again. Thanks Redsie for posting.
