I am syrian, this is what we make after we are done making stuffed cabbage and bell peppers - we take all the veggie scraps, brown more lamb with pine nuts and put it in a dutch oven, the rice you can either add or serve on the side - sometimes we use bulgar wheat - this is the side dish to the meal - it translates to 'garbage' in american - best tasting garbage you'll ever eat! Yours looked very good!

I don’t know how I found you but I’m so glad I did. You have great recipes and a very calming voice and I love your glasses 💜

Finally! I found new cabbage recipes besides just frying!

I married into a Lebanese family, so have made cabbage rolls and stuffed grape leaves for years. I came across a similar recipe to this 2 years ago which is made on the stove top in a 5 quart pot...called "Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls". I haven't rolled a cabbage leaf since. I cook my rice separately in the style my mother-in-law does hers and serve the hot cabbage ingredients over the rice. Yes, it tastes the same as the rolled version and is much quicker and easier. HINT: Serve with a wedge of lemon in order to squeeze some fresh over the dish before eating.

I made this last night, and my family absolutely LOVED this casserole! My husband asked me to pack some up for him to take to work with him! And following your suggestion, I put hot sauce on the table and my husband and son both loved being able to put a little zing on their servings. This is definitely a keeper!

Already shredded cabbage in the produce isle cuts down on the wrestling match with tough old cabbage... When my kids were young they wouldn't eat a cabbage roll, but made like this the pan would empty out in no time!

I was looking for a recipe to use up a half head of cabbage. Found this. Had already cooked hamburger in freezer. Family loved it. Thank you. Love your videos.

My mother is Eastern European, so I was raised eating cabbage rolls. I will try your recipe - looks good! I enjoy mine with hot sauce & sour cream.

I've tried the "Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls" recipe before where I cook the chopped cabbage with the meat, seasonings & tomatoes in a pot then serve it over rice and I love it. But your recipe looks even easier to make so I've gotta try it! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. I just love your sweet voice, it's very soothing. God bless you, Jan.

I'm an old granny who just discovered she liked cabbage. I threw a dish together very similar to this and it was so good. The only thing I did differently was to also add a can of black beans...yummy!

You work so hard!! I didn't know they made women like that anymore. My wish for you is that you get a little time to just chill and relax. I surely hope your husband knows what a lucky and blessed man he is. Hugs sweet lady

My family adds a small bag of saurkraut to this dish along with the cabbage and tomatoes. Mashed taters on the side. Yummmmmm

Miss Jan, I do something like this in my crock pot. We love it. Thank you.

I know it can be really hard for alot of people to understand. Took me decades. But u can love someone u have never ever met but jan has invited us into her home gotta love that !!!!!!

that's the best recipe I've seen for lazy cabbage rolls... thanks... love the blue casserole dish...

I tried this recipe last week, and although I only had spaghetti sauce and Minute rice on hand, it sure was good!! It freezes well, too. I love your videos and your recipes!!

I watched this again and so glad I did. This is so tasty and easy to make. I made boiled potatoes and mashed them with butter and milk as a side. Thank you dear Jan!

i fry all of the cabbage roll ingrediants when i dont want to roll it , its delicious. i precook my rice and throw it in the other ingredients when almost done frying.

Been cooking this for 40 yrs..my momma made this, but added sage, and garlic powder..stuck a carrot in it to cut acid..while it was baking..or in crock pot..if baking, grease dish put rice on bottom and add 1.5 cups water 3 cans of sauce..mediym size..delish..Thank you miss Jan, Gods Blessing to all.

I’ve seen several recipes for this , but you have LAYERED the ingredients ‼️‼️Makes ABSOLUTE sense. I hanks s much. Think I will use this instant brown rice. Thanks again.

I remember how long it used to take my Mom to make cabbage rolls (one of her favourites to eat). This is a great idea! I'm making her birthday lunch this weekend, and for sure I'm going to try this out for her. Thanks for another great recipe Jan.

That is really clever idea. I’m going to try this tonight.

Oh my, I hastily scribbled this recipe as you shared the recipe, Jan. I think I got it right and made it for dinner tonight - the only change I made is I baked at 375° for 1 1/2 hours instead of one hour using regular long grain rice. It was soooooo good. I will def be making this recipe again and again. It was lovely. Thank you for sharing, Jan.

Thanks a lot, Jan!! Always love your recipes so much! A keeper for sure.

Looks good & so much easier than rolling the cabbage leaves!! Thanks for sharing, Jan :-)

I love your sophisticated glasses. LOL Those are really cool. I just love you. I can tell you have a sense of humor and can laugh at yourself. Enjoy your cabbage.

Hi Jan, I have made cabbage rolls the old fashioned way, and believe me, this way is by far the BEST. You made it look easy and delicious. Happy New Year to you and your family as I’m watching this on New Years Day..🎊🎈🎉🎈❤️.

Your eye glasses brings back memories when I was a teenager lol😄. Those glasses used to be in style in the 1960's. They were pointy at the ends 😄.

This is how I've been making my "cabbage rolls" for a long time too. Sure beats standing around messing with all those cabbage leaves ;-)

My daughter makes a casserole a lot like this, but she adds chopped green bell peppers to hers. Delicious!

I am so glad I found your channel while searching for lazy cabbage roll casserole, you are awesome!! I'm confident that your recipe is simple and tasty, and will work!

My hubby works at a place where the have these products..any new cabbage recipes the better..THANK YOU!!

This looks real good.

We love stuffed cabbage and this is a nice twist, thank you. Will be making this the next time Jimmy wants stuffed cabbage.

MMMmmmmm! Looks great! I'm cooking this tonight with no fuss of rolling cabbage rolls just same wonderful taste!

Looks really good, Jan. 😊 Get well soon. Hugs and God bless

Yum! The only thing I do differently is I take a bag of rinsed & drained Sauerkraut to line the bottom of the casserole dish then right before I put it in the oven I add Dollar Tree tomato juice on top. Just enough to flavor but not so much that it boils over in the oven! If I had the ingredients I’d make some today! Love your recipes❣️ Hope you see my comments as I’m going thru some of your older posted cooking videos. {{{ HUGGZ }}} ~Su

Love your glasses! Thank you for the receipe

Hi Jan, I make this all the time with a few different ingredients. I use tomatoes soup and a 6 ozcan of sauce , you can use just soup too. Between each layer I put a few pats of butter. I only use salt , pepper and a little garlic powder and parsley. I am not fond of spicy food so I use very little except parsley . Making it this way you get more juice. I do add about 1/3 can of water with my soup. Then the left overs are my favorite I fry them in a little butter. Thanks for being you and letting me into your life.

Looks delicious Jan, gonna try this for tomorrow night supper! Luv your glasses😎

I made this tonight. Haven't eaten yet, but wanted to post a picture of it. I can't wait to dig in!!!

I've been making this for years! Great minds think alike!! :) Thanks for sharing, Jan!

Thank you so much for sharing this easy cabbage idea. You did a wonderful job explaining how to put all the ingredients together. The finished products look so darn good. It's a must to try, and I will. God bless you and I hope to see more of your recipes. Much Love form Missouri

Thanks for this idea!!! I'm going to make it tonight...I really enjoy your videos and ❤️ your dollar store meals...

You are just the cutest and sweetest woman ❤ Great recipe! Love your glasses too!

I LOVE THIS IDEA. I MIGHT TRY A CAN OF ROTEL TOMATOES AND A CAN OF HUNT'S TOMATOES. I LIKE THOSE PRODUCTS BECAUSE THERE IS NO CORN SYRUP.....THANKS FOR THIS RECIPE.

Hey Ms Jan I wanna say thanks for all your videos You and Mrs Cheryl has really taught me how to cook!!!! Lol

I can't wait to try this casserole. Yum

I make mine the same way, I do like using spaghetti sauce though. Looks good! Thank you for showing us different ways of making this meal.👍🏼

yummy looks good to me I think green bell peppers would be good in this recipe also

Oooh this would be cool as stuffed grape leaves too! Jan you're awesome! What a creative way to make cabbage rolls. I think I'll make this tomorrow night!

Oh my gosh Jan.......this is the best idea ever for a cabbage roll recipe ever ! Thanks so much girl, I will be testing this one out for sure, take care XO

Absolutely love your recipes! I'm in Texas and that down home cooking is right up my alley. Thank you Jan.

Yummy. These recipes on KZfaq are making me hungry 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶

How clever of you to figure this out! I can't believe some one hasn't figured this out before! This looks like it is even better for you than cabbage roll because really there is more cabbage in there than what you would have in the rolls! Deeeeeelicious! I just love those yummy rolls - but I don't love making them so this is on my "gotta make it soon" list! Thanks for sharing!

Jan u continue to amaze me with ur delicious recipes.ty

Make cabbage rolls and cab roll soup often, can't wait to try this spin on it. Thanks

I might try this in the crockpot! I think it would work bc it has the layers and a crockpot is deep. Looks yummy!

Awww...now my mouth is watering and I don't have the ingredients to make this! Thanks a lot lol

This looks great and really easy, too. I love cabbage rolls but they take way too long to make. I'll be trying this method very soon! Thank you

Well it's tomorrow, I actually cooked it. I didn't layer it and I cooked the rice by itself then added it to the mixture. It came out good. Next time I will layer it to see if there's any difference. Thank You 🙋

I have 1/2 a cabbage in my. Fridge and the rest of this recipe I'm trying it tomorrow , thanks for your recipes 👏🏼👍🏽

I love all your recipes! I definitely want to try this one!

Looks delicious!

It s amazing what u come up with. I’m going to try his today.

Looks really good

Looks so good

I do it the lazy way I use cooked rice add everything to a lined slow cooker turn it on high for a couple hours and it's done. No hard rice bits either also add at least 1 can of tomato sauce 1 can water to the diced tomatoes. For extra flavor use 1 can of mild rotels in place of 1 can tomatoes

Yay a cooking video ! I love home made cabbage rolls.....I've made this before, but still prefer the rolls with lots of tomato sauce. BTW LOVE the glasses

Giving this a try tomorrow, that's my plan anyway 👩‍🍳 🙂

Looks great! Must be great!

Excellent cabbage roll casserole! I did add a lil salt and pepper. But I add salt and pepper to everything! Even cantaloupe! Thanks

Great recipe

I have to try this one!

fabulous !!!!!

Im from the north. I just love southern cooking. Jan you have a pretty voice.

This looked appetizing, so I cooked it. I am famous for tweeking recipes so I added some mushrooms. Really delicious!

Will try this recipe Thanks so much.

Mmmmmm.. Cabbage "Casse-roll"!! 😉

Looks healthy and delicious Jan! I love to watch you cook I need to make this recipe .

I am definitely going to try this for Sunday meal looks yummy

Thank you. I'm going to try this.

Thank you,Jan. I will have to try with the tomatoes. My Polish family would make this with no tomatoes but this looks really good.

I got the recipes for "Cabbage Casserole" and "Freezer Lasagna" from either Family Circle or Woman's Day magazine nearly 50 years ago. Their version used shredded cabbage (or a bag of coleslaw mix) and the fried hamburger, raw rice, and tomatoes were combined, then layered with the cabbage. The coleslaw mix makes it super quick and easy. It also cooks in a crockpot (though it is more watery, so you might drain the tomatoes or add more rice) and it freezes well. Love your channel, Jan, and the snazzy eye wear you sport in every video!
