UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLL CASSEROLE

Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Casserole image

From a free Penzey's recipe card... Edited 3/24/08 to add that I have now made this recipe for the first time. We really liked it, but found it a bit bland, so I doubled the amounts of vinegar and brown sugar and also added some ketchup to jazz it up a bit. Definitely a keeper, though!
