This is my go to recipe when I feel the need for comfort food without the work of regular stuffed cabbage. Depending on the size casserole dish you use you could use more ground beef or a combination of beef, pork or veal. Just use a very light hand when you are mixing the meat mixture. Sometimes I add Worchestershire Sauce to the tomato mixture.
