Made this recipe tonight, and now it's one of my husband's favorites! Reminds me of my Granny's recipe for rolls. Very yummy. Used the changes suggested: halved the recipe, boiled the chopped cabbage for 2 min, drained, and put it in the 9x13 pan. With the ground beef and 1/2 cup red onion in a saucepan, I also added a dash of Tabasco, cinammon, Worchestshire, tsp of brown sugar and tsp of lemon juice, as suggested, and sauteed until the beef browned. Added salt and pepper to the beef plus a dash of spicy Mexican seasoning. We used brown rice and cooked it beforehand, which added to the prep time, but was very good. Meant to cook 2 1/2 cups of brown rice and only use 1 but forgot and put in all of it, so the ratio of beef to rice was off but it tasted very good. Helped to drop the calories/serving also. Once the beef was done, I added the cooked brown rice and a can of whole peeled tomatoes (400g) and diced the tomatoes. After the beef/rice/tomatoes were mixed well, I added them to the 9x13 pan and stirred. For a topping, we poured a few rows of another tomato sauce on top and my husband added grated Edamer cheese (like Swiss). We baked it for 1 hour covered with foil. Then baked 10 min uncovered. Was still some liquid left and cabbage was a bit crunchy, but we both liked it and are looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Even with half the recipe, we still made a full 9x13 pan's worth. Would be a great dish for a potluck. Definitely one I will make again.
