My sister & I cooked this together with Onion & Mushroom roasted potatoes. I must have gotten it confused with another recipe as I thought some of the reviews had suggested using diced tomatoes as the consistancy was a little dry - boy that was wrong - but let me tell you it was great any how. The flavors were wonderful. Yum Yum!!!

I used diced chicken because that was all I had. Great healthy recipe added extra spices like basil, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Turned out wonderful.

Very tasty. I made a small adjustment by cooking my ground beef and onion together thereby eliminating the need for extra oil and/or butter. I layered it just as the suggested but into my crockpot instead of casserole dish. cooked on low for about 4 hours and added the grated cheese the last 10 minutes. DH loved it. Next time I think I will mix in maybe half cup of cooked rice with the meat to give it closer texture to real cabbage rolls. I know this one is a real keeper.
