Unstuffed Cabbage Roll

When my family craves stuffed cabbage rolls and I don’t feel like rolling, I make this Unstuffed Cabbage Roll instead. This recipe is a crowd-friendly, no-fuss, and one-pot dish. And I consider this recipe the ultimate in healthy comfort food. Cabbage is packed with nutrients, fits different ways of cooking, and can feed a crowd on a budget. Win-win!

In this easy recipe, I add fresh chopped cabbage to the ground beef and onion mixture along with tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. And I get all the taste of fresh cabbage, juicy and tender meat, and savory sauce in each bite without additional work of rolling up individual cabbage rolls. I like pairing this dish with classic sides like rice, mashed potatoes, green beans, or a pan of 5-minute microwave cornbread. Delicious!
