Cabbage Roll Casserole

We made this recipe the other day, and it was just delish with a great aroma! It reminds me of my grandmother-in-law’s Jewish cabbage soup!

How to tweak for your type:

•	Great Bear meal!
•	Lions and Otters omit rice and brown sugar, increase beef to 2 pounds, and decrease cabbage to ½ cabbage.
•	Monkeys, substitute 1 can white beans and decrease beef to ½ pound.
•	Giraffes, substitute 2 cans white beans for beef.

What you’ll need:

•	1 lb ground beef, cooked
•	1 medium onion, chopped
•	1 head of cabbage, shredded, some finely, some coarsely
•	2/3 cup uncooked whole grain rice
•	1 cup water
•	2 tsp paprika
•	2 tsp salt
•	½ tsp pepper
•	2 Tbsp brown sugar
•	2 cans (15 oz.) tomatoes (we like Muir Glen Fire Roasted best)

What to do:

1.	Cook ground beef and onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.
2.	Mix beef mixture and remaining ingredients in your crock pot. Cooker will be very full, but cabbage will cook down.
3.	Cover and cook on low heat 4 to 6 hours or until cabbage is tender.
