I was craving cabbage rolls like crazy (don't know why since I haven't eaten them in years
). Anyway, I threw together these ingredients and it came out AWESOME!! Forgive me if I'm not as creative as I thought I was, and somebody has already come up with this...
1 lb ground beef
1/2 c. tomato sauce
1/4 c. water
1 packet splenda
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped
2 tbsp oil
salt, pepper and garlic to taste
Cook ground beef with seasonings and transfer to casserole dish. pile cabbage on top of gr. beef. Combine tomato sauce, water, oil and splenda and pour over top of cabbage. Cover and bake at 300 for 2+ hours.
I know it's a long baking time, but it allows the cabbage to get really soft and the water to evaporate and tomato to blend with the meat. Gives the meat a nice 'roasted' flavour, too.
Very tomato-y, sweet and meaty.

ps--could try it with cauli-flied rice for stuffing cabbage leaves, or serve with a side of mock potatoes, or salad.
