1 Medium head cabbage, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
2 lbs. ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 tsp. garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked rice
2 cans tomato soup
2 cans water
1 cup tomato juice
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Cook ground beef in large skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
Grease a 9x13-in glass dish. (Don't use a metal dish as it will react with the tomato and cabbage). Put all the cabbage on the bottom. Sprinkle the browned ground beef, onion, & green pepper. Sprinkle garlic powder or minced garlic on top, then the uncooked rice.
In a separate bowl, combine tomato soup, water, juice and brown sugar.
Pour into the dish.
Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours.

I can't wait to try this. My Ukrainian grandmother (Baba) made a dish she called Lazy Cabbage Rolls, which I remember being a lot like this, including the tomato soup. Unfortunately she passed away 10 years ago and I never did get that recipe. Thanks!

use a very deep dish! the ingrediants fill a normal 9x13 glass dish with no room to spare.

I spread half a shredded cabbage on the bottom of my roast pan,then the meat rice mixture (same as you wud for cabbage rolls); then top with remaining shredded cabbage. Top with tomato juice, soup or v-8 juice whatever you prefer. Don't forget the dill!

Terrific recipe! I don't use tomato soup I use tomato sauce,also I use mushrooms at times,here is the kicker Lean ground chicken or turkey is a great replacement for beef in fact my family prefer it,also I leave out the sugar...Vic
