Fat Free Cabbage Rice Casserole Recipes

FAT-FREE CABBAGE-RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a casserole that will hold at least 16 cups, or use 2 smaller casserole dishes (I use a small size roaster for this recipe).
• Place the chopped onions and the garlic on the bottom of a greased casserole.
• Shred the cabbage using a sharp knife, or use a food processor (it should measure about 7 cups).
• Place all the chopped veggies in a large bowl with the rice.
• In another bowl, stir tomatoes with their juice, 1 cup tomato juice, sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper and Dijon mustard until well mixed.
• Stir into the cabbage mixture, using a folding motion, until evenly blended.
• Transfer to the casserole dish on top of the onions (do not stir!) cover with a lid.
• Bake in the oven for 1-1/2 hours; then stir well every half an hour until the cabbage is soft and the rice is done.
• Stir in the chopped fresh tomatoes (if using).
• Optional; for a cheesy flavor, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese may be sprinkled on top before baking.
