But I have a question.   She would par cook the beef to remove some grease.   How do you avoid a greasy soupy mess?

 

There's a video on Youtube of Martha Stewart making stuffed cabbage with her mom.


 

I've made one from allecipes called "Cabbage Roll Casserole" that calls for the ground beef to be browned & fat drained before mixing with additional ingredients.   

 

@LilBitMissty  recipe sounds wayyyy more flavorful. so I'll have to try it!

 

Thank you!

I haven't  read all the comments, so maybe this was mentioned.  I've tried this recipe and It's very good.  A time-saver for me is to use shredded cabbage, Cole slaw mix, instead of shredding the head of cabbage.  Just a thought.

Re: Almost Cabbage Roll Casserole

This sounds delicious and I’m making it this weekend. I’m substituting eggplant for meat.

Thank you for posting the recipe !!

Re: Almost Cabbage Roll Casserole

This post inspired me to make unstuffed cabbage last night

 

I used on can of cranberry sauce, one can of diced tomatoes, a bag a of cole slaw mix for the cabbage and ground turkey.

 

I added a handful of raisins and  2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

 

I let the cranberry and tomatoes heat added the cabbage and made small meat balls with the ground turkey

 

It was a great easy meal on a chilly day

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I would like to reduce the amount of meat that I use and I like eggplant. What would you do to the eggplant to use it in this or any other casserole? 

I have also used a similar recipe that goes around on Facebook for cabbage roll soup it is very good. It might be good with eggplant, too.

@software We always buy 90 percent lean ground beef, and with that I don't think the grease would be a problem.  

 

And we almost always brown ground beef anyway for something like this because the carmelization  is so good.

Re: Almost Cabbage Roll Casserole

 I’ve cut thick slices (like steak) and quick-sear in olive oil. You can slice it across or length-wise, skin on or peeled.

Eggplant is a favorite of mine that I sub for meat.  Can’t wait for this to be done...
