How to Make Babzy's Lazy Cabbage Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice and 1 packet (1 ounce) onion soup mix into the meat mixture. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Spread 1 (14 ounce) bag coleslaw mix evenly in a lightly greased 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  5. Spread the meat mixture evenly over the coleslaw.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, and 1/2 cup water. Pour evenly over the cabbage and meat.
  7. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional).
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking for browning.
