Polish Cabbage Casserole

To me, casseroles are easy to find, but a GOOD casserole is not. I am not a big fan of casseroles dishes in general. I am kind of picky with what I like to have cooked in mine. So, when there is a dish that I like, I scoop it up and soon it becomes a favorite. And that is why this hamburger cabbage casserole (Polish casserole) is on my list.
.
It is a pretty tasty dish and of course.... easy to make and fairly cheap. My mom made this one usually when my dad was out of town and I have fallen in love with it over these years. I have made this dish for many roommates, dates, and pot-lucks, all with success. So, if you want to give it a try all you need is...

1 small head of cabbage
1 lb. oh ground beef
1/3 cup uncooked rice
1 can tomato soup
1 can water
1 1/2 cup cheese

1. Chop cabbage into pieces and place into the bottom of greased casserole dish.
2. In pan, cook meat and onion, then drain.
3. After the pan has been drained, add rice, soup and water to the meat/onion combination.
4. Pour over cabbage.
5. Sprinkle 3/4 of the cheese over dish. Cook in oven at 375 degrees for 1 hour and 15 mins. Add the rest of the cheese right before it is done.

Hint: When you place the cabbage in the dish, it may look like a lot, but it isn't. The cabbage will shrink down once cooked. So, don't be afraid of over flowing. Also.... when you serve the dish up, I find it needs salts, so make sure it is handy and let the eaters know it will need it.

  11. I remember learning how to make cabbage rolls from my stepmother, I'm surprised you have no bacon in there. Of course now I must convert every thing into veggie "meat". Yummy!

  12. I made this today. IT WAS a big hit! We buy our beef a half a beef at a time and I have my ground beef packaged in 1.75 pound packages, so it was a bit bigger than normal and my 2 nd 4 year old had 3 to 5 servings. not a bit of leftovers left and that never happens. Thanks for the recipe.
