Recipe Tips
This recipe is very versatile. You can add other vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the casserole if you’d like. You can also switch out the ground beef for ground turkey or vegan crumbles. For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce mixture.
If you’re looking for a way to use up leftover rice, this recipe is a great option. You can use up to 2 cups of cooked rice in place of the uncooked white rice. If you use cooked rice, you may need to reduce the cooking time as the rice will already be cooked.
This cabbage roll casserole is a great meal for busy weeknights. It’s easy to prepare and cooks up in the slow cooker for a no-fuss dinner. Enjoy!
