I love cabbage rolls but hate making them. This recipe is so easy and I think cooking the Rotel with the ground meat really makes a difference. Very flavorful.
My family are very finicky when it comes to cabbage (one of my favorites) so I only do half the head. I would love more in it, so use the whole thing if you want to. I miss my grandma’s cabbage rolls. but that’s a lot of work steaming each leaf and then filling and placing in another pan so I turned it into this.

1-2 lb ground beef
5-6 c cooked rice
Directions:
1. Prep: Shred cabbage. Chop onions and bell pepper.
2. In a large dutch oven, add ground beef, onion, bell pepper and Rotel (cooks into meat for extraordinary flavor, didn’t believe it till I did it). Cook till meat is done.
