Ingredients
Ingredients:Meat mixture:2lbs Ground Beef 93% Lean1 cup Onion, chopped3 tsp Garlic, minced1 tbsp Dill1 tsp Sage1 tsp Thyme1 cup Tomato Sauce1 cup White Rice, cookedCabbage:8 cups Cabbage, chopped or shredded1 tbsp Sugar1 tsp Cinnamon1 tsp Cloves, groundTopping:1 cup Mozzarella, shredded, part skim1/2 cup Parmesan, grated1 cup tomato sauce
Directions
In a large skillet combine ground beef, onion, garlic, and meat mixture spices. Cook until meat is no longer pink. Add rice and 1 cup of tomato sauce, simmer for 5 minutes.

While meat mixture is cooking, steam cabbage with a little water, sugar and spices in the microwave. I use a large zipper bag and give it a good shake to distribute the spices both before and after steaming (make sure it's sealed before you shake it and leave the zipper open a little while it's steaming so the bag doesn't pop).

Casserole assembly:

Put half the steamed cabbage mixture in the bottom of a large casserole, top with meat mixture. Cover the layer of meat mixture with the remaining cabbage. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top layer of cabbage and cover with the cheeses. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese melts and begins to brown.

Serves 8. Thanks to my friend Cheryl for the recipe :-) Also works great with ground pork.
