Wow! I have always loved cabbage, remembering days of stuffed cabbage as a kid. This recipe is so easy and tastes excellent! I did add some chopped bacon in with the ground beef and parmesan on the top. My husband who gave me a look of disgust when I mentioned it to him... LOVED it. Highly recommend!

This was a easy recipe, you may want to season it more, little bland. Maybe use 1 small can tomato paste & use 4 cans of chicken stock.

This got mixed reviews. It's good and it was eaten, but it's missing some zing. It reminds me of a mexican rice dish....it's just confusing, it doesn't taste similar to anything and I think that is what throws you off. I love all the ingredients in it, but it just doesn't mesh well. Will probably not make again. Also, it makes a huge dish, so cut it in half if you're serving to four people or less.

I absolutely love this recipe. My family loves cabbage rolls, but sometimes I don't have the time to make them. It's very time consuming to make each roll. This is so much easier and tastes great. I'll definately make this casserole again.

I thought I would really like this recipe because I love stuffed cabbage rolls but I didn't like it at all. It was too sweet of all things. I don't know if it was the dressing, or the onions, or the tomato soup that made it too sweet but it didn't taste like stuffed cabbage at all. I picked out the beef and ate that, but I will keep looking for an easy cabbage beef recipe.
