Cabbage Roll In A Bowl - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 lbs ground beef
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (5 ounce) bags shredded cabbage
1 cup uncooked instant rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups beef broth
1 dash ground pepper (optional)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375.
Put olive oil, finely diced or chopped onion, minced garlic, and ground beef in a pan; brown, stirring.
Drain the meat and vegetable mixture and set aside.
In the pan mix the tomato sauce and the rice.
In one 9x13 baking pan or 2 8\" pans, layer 1/3 the cabbage, 1/3 of the beef mix and 1/3 of the sauce mix.
Repeat the layers until you are either out of ingredients or out of room.
Sprinkle with black pepper if using.
Pour 3 cups beef broth over the 9x13 pan or 1 1/2 cups beef broth over each 8x8 pan.
If you will use mozzarella, bake at 375 one hour and then add the mozzarella on top. If not using mozzarella bake one hour and 15 minutes. Remove if done a slight bit earlier.
Let sit 5-10 minutes to set up a tiny bit.
