Cabbage Roll Casserole This casserole provides all the flavour of cabbage rolls without the work of rolling them! Canola oil helps keep saturated fat content low. Ingredients • 2 Tbsp canola oil • 1 medium onion, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes • 1 lb extra lean, ground sirloin • ¾ cup long-grain, brown rice • ¼ tsp salt • 1 cup sodium-reduced vegetable or beef broth • ¼ tsp ground black pepper • 2 cups chopped cabbage Instructions 1. In large skillet with lid, heat canola oil over medium. Sauté onions and garlic for about 5 minutes. 2. Add ground beef. Brown for about 5 minutes over medium- high heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Add cabbage, tomatoes, rice and broth and stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes or until rice is tender. If preferred instead, after bringing mixture to a boil, bake in oven-proof skillet with lid in 350°F oven for about 40 minutes. 70
