TT, this is a very easy recipe, just what your looking for, little mess to clean up. I got the recipe from
@kqcrna, who must be away, she hasn't posted for a few days. I added the name Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls.
Feel free to spice it up to your taste.
Stuffed Cabbage Casserole, (Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls)
1 or ½ head of green cabbage depending on size
1&1/2 lbs. of lean ground beef
½ tsp each of ground sage, thyme, bay leaf and cayenne
1 med. onion, chopped
1 cup uncooked rice, not instant, I use long grain
1 28oz. can crushed tomatoes in puree, I used chopped tomatoes as that was what I had on hand
1 can condensed tomato soup with one can water
Salt and pepper
Cut cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Put half the cabbage into the bottom of a 9X13 pan coated with cooking spray. Crumble raw beef over cabbage, mix and sprinkle spices, salt and pepper. Add onion, rice and tomatoes. Cover with remaining cabbage. Pour soup and water mix over top. Salt and pepper to taste; Bake, covered, for one and a half hours at 400°. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings

Dinner tonight was chicken breast in gravy, leftover quinoa, and microwaved mixed frozen vegetables with a little butter. I wasn't too creative today.
