A different idea of making lasagna with cabbage instead of noodles, and using some of the ingredients in my fridge to participate in the Dining on a Dollar Contest - Spring 2013. Hope you enjoy it.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 3/4 cups tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup (I use Heinz)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 lb lean ground beef, browned and drained (or use ground turkey)
1/2 lb Italian turkey sausage, crumbled and browned
4 tablespoons onions, chopped
2 tablespoons carrots, chopped
2 tablespoons green bell peppers, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/8 teaspoon celery seed (optional)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (or use 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, ketchup and sugar. Mix well to dissolve sugar and set aside.
  • In a large skillet with oil spray, brown ground beef and remove. In the same skillet brown Italian sausage crumbled until brown.
  • Mix browned sausage with the browned ground beef and add chopped onion, carrot, green bell pepper, garlic powder, oregano, (celery seeds), salt and pepper.
  • Simmer the meat sauce for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked but crispy tender.
  • Then add the prepared tomato sauce to the cooked meats and vegetables and mix well.
  • Combine the cottage cheese (or Ricotta cheese) with the beaten egg and set aside.
  • Spoon some of the meat sauce into bottom of crock pot (or slow cooker).
  • Layer in this order: sliced cabbage, meat sauce, cottage cheese (or Ricotta).
  • Repeat layers until all is used up, ending with mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Cover and cook on Low heat setting for about 1 hour, or until cabbage is soft, but do not overcooked.
  • NOTE: This cabbage lasagna can also be cook on the stovetop in a Dutch oven, or bake in the oven at 350ºF. for about 30 minutes, or until cabbage is tender, but not overcooked.

The cabbage leaves in this lasagna were a bit tough. I think I would cook them for a bit longer next time.
