This unstuffed cabbage roll casserole has been my favourite since childhood. It’s one of my favourite comfort food. This casserole is a quicker version of cabbage rolls. I cannot compare because this casserole delivers the same goodness! People call this the lazy cabbage roll recipe, as this recipe does not require any heavy lifting or waiting. Just cook everything in a single pan, layer, and bake!

How to make Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Ready a 9 x 13-inch pan. Grease and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the ground beef, ground pork, onion, and garlic until browned. When done, drain any excess grease.
Step 3: To the meat mixture, add the tomato sauce, tomato soup, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, dill, parsley, and bay leaf. Put the lid on and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Then, stir in the rice.
Step 4: In the meantime, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the cabbage to the hot oil and cook until tender-crisp.
Step 5: In the prepared pan, place half of the cabbage and top with half of the beef/rice mixture. Do the same layers ending with the beef/rice mixture.
Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, uncovered, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.
