With an Italian flavor, this one dish casserole is always a hit at dinner and pot lucks. Most never realize it is cabbage. I love being able to put this together the evening or morning before to just pop in the oven. I received this recipe at a potluck 13 years ago from a coworker who was not allowed by her peers to bring any other dish. A salad and crusty bread and your meal is complete.

This was easy and came together great, but I thought it was lacking a little in the flavor department. I used all spicy V8 juice and added some garlic to the onion/meat mixture, but I thought it was still kind of bland. I'll try this again using some Italian seasoning to boost the flavor.

Easy to make and scrumptious! If you want to make this recipe "heart smart" e.g. low fat/low salt, substitute with the following: No Salt Added Tomato Sauce (Muir Glen Organic makes a no salt added);No Salt Added Tomato Soup; Low Sodium V8 Juice; use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef/pork, or just use very lean ground beef with no pork. You will probably need to go to an organic grocery store to find a good selection of no salt/low salt items, i.e. Whole Foods.

Absolutely delicious! Followed your easy directions, and came up with a king-size bucket of good stuff! It's even better as "reruns"! Great cause I keep most of the ingredients around anyway. Mmmmm, be doing this one again! Thanks for sharing, Laudee

This tasted just as good as the stuffed cabbages my mother used to make when I was achild. Iused one pound of ground beef, 3/4 of a cabbage, 1/2 C. regular rice, 1 can diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, 2 cups tomato juice instead of the soup and V-8. I added i clove of garlic and 1 t. Italian seasoning to the meat mixture. I also didn't have mozzarella but it was not missed. I don't think it needs cheese at all. We both loved this. I had it for dinner, then lunch and dinner the next day. This will become a family favorite.
