Fantastic and easy! I usually do pigs in a blanket, wrapping each piece carefully with cabbage....looks nice but time consuming. This was a quick and easy - still delicious - casserole. Thanks for sharing!

Nice recipe, very easy and tasted great. As per suggestions, I did add some fresh minced garlic and a few sprinkles of my fave BBQ rub spice for extra flavour, and made a half recipe which fit nicely in a 9x13 inch pan. Also, as per Natalie I used a bottle of beer instead of broth, and it was great. Cooked for an extra 15 minutes to get the rice just right. Good one.

Super good- ya can't stop eating this. Instead of the beef broth, I used a can of beer. The flavor was great and I think I will keep the recipe that way.

Enjoyed this, but thought it could have used a bit more spice to flavor it. Not sure what yet, but will continue to experiment.

We really enjoyed this! It was super easy--I did halve the ingredients with the exception of the rice, which I left at 1 cup. I followed the suggestion in an earlier review and turned up the oven to 400 and it was done in an hour.

This was really good! Hearty, filling and easy to make. We are trying hard to be heart-healthy, so used 99% fat free ground turkey instead of beef. I also followed the suggestion of another reviewer and added the cabbage 40 minutes into cooking so it didn't get mushy.

My family is german so cabbage rolls mean sour cabbage. I liked the idea of spicing it up as well so I used 1 can of tomatoe soup and 1 can of Rotel along with the beef broth mixed up the cooked beef, rice, onion and celery, added minced garlic, salt and lots of pepper, piled into my slow cooker and topped it with 1 jar of drained homemade sourkraut. My husband was the first one home when I made it and he was taste testing quite freely by the time I got home! Great time saver and a definite hit at my house.

I made the recipe exactly as it says, except I left out the oil when I browned the beef and it turned out pretty bland! To add some flavor I added a bunch of Adobo (spanish seasoning) which made it a lot better. It still seemed like there was something missing, so added four slices of pre-sliced cheddar cheese to the casserole, mixed it up, and it was finally perfect! I never salt my food so I was surprised that no one else really found it to be bland, perhaps the modifications most made added enough flavor. I will definitely make this recipe again, with my modifications of course!

One thing I love is a healthy, tasty and EASY meal. This is all that. So, I love it. And so did everyone else in my family, including my daughter who supposedly "hates" cabbage and wasn' even going to "taste" it! After one bite.. she wanted more. Her byfriend, also a cabbage hater, raved abouth this meal. After three times of making this, the only note I have is: Don't use too much cabbage (unless you actually want it to be the dominant flavor). I used more cabbage the last time, since it is hard to guage the "pounds" chopped, but I used too much cabbage, and my hubby commented on the cabbagey-flavor. As the recipe is written, it is awesome. Delicious. The flavors are well and equally balanced. Next time, I won't change a thing.

This was ok. Mixed reviews from family. Two liked alot. Two didn't. I used brown rice and it was still a bit crunchy. I also used a bagged preshredded cabbage to cut prep time on a weeknight. Cooked while at Ty-kwan-do, came home to dinner done! Receipe made enough for family of 4 to eat plus leftovers to have a whole another meal of it again another day.

Like another, I cooked this stove top and it was delicious. I sauteed the meat, onion and garlic, added the rice, cabbage, sauce, broth and a can of seasonal chopped tomates. Covered for 20 minutes and it was ready! Family loved it.

Out of this world!!!!! I made this dish in the crockpot and added ingredients from receipe with a few modifications: used 3 lbs of ground turkey, 1 1/2 heads of chopped cabbage, 2 1/2 cups Uncle Ben's Brown Rice, 2 1/2 medium onions, 3 - 4 cans tomato sauce, Salt Sense Iodized salt, and 2lb beef broth. (After reading everyone's reviews) Then I added 2 - 3 tablespoons hot sauce, 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons worchestire sauce, 6 medium sized freshly minced garlic, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and 2 teaspoons of vinegar. On the side I served sour cream to help cool down the heat from some of the peppers I used in case it was a little too hot for anyone. Entire family scarfed meal within seconds. My mother came over for dinner and is now begging for receipe. This dish will definitely be added to regular dinner menu and made again and again!
