Lazy Man’s Cabbage Roll Casserole
I've never had an actual cabbage roll. I was a fussy child and there was something about Cabbage Rolls that made me uneasy, I think it was the combination of tomato sauce and rice. It seems ridiculous now after I've had the essential ingredients of cabbage rolls in a thick stew and in a casserole. My first encounter with Lazy ...
