I'd been making stuffed bell pepper casserole for years, but I decided to change things up this time and try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! It's now my new favorite casserole dish.

I used wonton wrappers instead of egg roll sheets, and it kind of fell apart when I spooned it out onto my plate. Still, it was super tasty and we couldn't get enough of it.

I've never made a casserole before, but I'm so glad I started with this recipe. The casserole was a nice and comforting hearty meal that was just what we needed on a chilly weeknight.

Really liked the way the egg rolls got all crispy and buttery in the oven. I used low-carb egg roll wrappers to make this a little more keto-friendly.

Not the prettiest casserole dish, but it's comfort food at its best. If you're feeding a crowd, I suggest doubling the recipe because it goes quick. (Also, I didn't have any egg rolls on hand so I just used lasagna sheets instead. No one could tell t

My roll wrappers got a little too crispy in the oven, so next time I'll try covering the dish with foil before baking. Still, it was a really good meal and we're looking forward to leftovers.

Used small egg roll wrappers to make this. It made a lot more rolls but they were the perfect size for a party. I also added some chopped water chestnuts to the meat mixture, and I think it added a nice textural element.

A bit more work than I wanted to do on a weeknight, but it was a great weekend dish to make with my kids. They got a lot of joy out of helping me roll the egg roll wrappers and folding them in half.

I used pre-cooked hamburger meat for this recipe, which helped to save a lot of time. I also used skim milk instead of regular milk to keep the dish a little lighter. It was good, but the sauce tended to curdle even on low heat. I think next time I'l

This casserole was a big hit at our camping trip last weekend. We cooked it in a Dutch oven, doubling the recipe and adding a few extra potatoes to the mix. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside just like it's supposed to be.

Good recipe. I liked the unique combination of meats, vegetables, and grains. I'm not sure I would have thought to put them all together in one dish.

Amazing! Cabbage roll casserole is now my go-to dish for potlucks and family gatherings. I've found it's a real crowd-pleaser, even with people who say they don't like cooked vegetables. The bacon and cheese add a nice salty, fatty flavor that cuts t

Easy weeknight meal. Doubled the recipe and fed eight hungry mouths. I served it with mashed potatoes and a side of green beans. Everyone cleaned their plates.

My new favorite comfort meal. This is the kind of dish that I would expect to see at a church potluck or family picnic. Simple but delicious, and it really stuck to your bones.

A little bland for my taste, but still very good. I added some Italian seasoning to the meat mixture and it really perked it up. Next time I think I'll try adding some chopped bell pepper and onion to the mix as well.

I loved this dish. I used ground beef instead of pork, and added a chopped onion to the meat mixture. I also used uncooked egg roll sheets because I didn't want to bother with blanching. The casserole was still nice and crispy on top and the filling

This was my first time making Cabbage Roll Casserole, but it definitely won't be my last. Followed the directions exactly as written and it was perfect. My husband raved about it and asked me to tell him what's in it so he can enter it in our county
