Almost Cabbage Rolls Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
3/4 c. uncooked long-grain rice
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 (28 oz) can tomato cause
1/4 c. cider vinegar
2 tbsp. brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp. dry mustard
8 cups cabbage, coarsely chopped (1/2 head)

In large bowl, mix together beef,rice, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.  In small bowl, stir together tomato sauce, vinegar, brown sugar and mustard.  Layer 1/3 of the cabbage in bottom of 3-quart deep casserole.  Arrange half of the beef mixture on top.  Cover with another 1/3 of the cabbage and then add the remaining beef mixture.  Cover with remaining cabbage.  Pour tomato sauce mixture over top, but do not stir.  Casserole will be quite full.  Cover; let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.  Bake at 325 F for 2 hours, without stirring.

Mom wasn't crazy about it.  I liked it quite a bit but I think next time I wouldn't use quite so much cabbage.

  1. My mom made these when I was a kid. I remember she put rye seed in them too. I will have to make these in the fall when we have fresh cabbage.
