| 1 1/2 tsp | Dijon mustard |
| 1 | Fresh tomatoes (for garnish) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare Casserole Dish: Chop the onion and garlic cloves, then place them at the bottom of a large casserole dish. If needed, you can use two smaller casserole dishes instead.
-
Prepare Vegetables: Slice the cabbage thinly using a food processor or shred it with a sharp knife. You should have about 7 cups of shredded cabbage. Thinly slice the carrots, either by hand or with a food processor. Coarsely chop the green peppers and finely chop the jalapeno peppers.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, sliced carrots, chopped green peppers, and cooked rice.
-
Prepare Sauce: In another bowl, mix the diced tomatoes (including their juice) with brown sugar, white vinegar, dried thyme, salt, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
-
Blend Sauce with Vegetables: Pour the tomato mixture over the cabbage and rice mixture, using a folding motion to evenly coat all the ingredients.
-
Assemble Casserole: Pour the cabbage and rice mixture into the casserole dish(es) on top of the onions. Do not stir.
-
Bake: Cover the casserole dish(es) with a lid and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
-
Stirring: After every half hour of baking, remove the casserole dish(es) from the oven and stir well. This helps ensure even cooking and prevents sticking.
-
Final Touch: Once the cabbage is soft and the rice is cooked, stir in the fresh tomatoes for a burst of freshness and color.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful Cabbage Roll Casserole with your favorite sides or as a standalone dish!
