Much easier than fussing around rolling up cabbage leaves!! Good recipe, but it needs something. Going to try increasing the spices next time.

This is a great and easy recipe! The only thing I will do differently next time is use three cans of tomato soup. The mozzarella adds so much to this!!

I'd make the recipe again, but with some changes. Basically it's quite good, but I didn't like the can of tomato sauce poured over the top. Like someone else did, I think I'd use some tomato soup, as the recipe I use for cabbage rolls is from an old Campbell's soup cookbook and is made with tomato soup which i spice up a little bit with liquid smoke. The stark, unseasoned taste of tomato sauce just isn't appetizing when you take a bite of this casserole, but underneath, the dish is juicy with the cabbage....especially noticeable when it's cooled down and has set for awhile.... and tastes very good. Also, I forgot to add about a fourth of the cabbage (left it in my food processor by mistake), and there was plenty of cabbage in the dish. I'd cut down on the amount of cabbage the next time I make it. A friend who eats dinner with us a lot commented that it tasted bland after the first bite, and I agree. It's all a matter of opinion.....some love it as is, I think it needs some tweaking to suit my tastes better.

For extra flavor, I use Spicy V-8 Juice in a 12 oz can and omit one tomato sauce. Wonderful recipe!

I found this casserole to be very bland. It is lacking something.

Wonderful recipe! I never thought I would be a lover of cabbage, but this dish was so easy to prepare and came out so well. My husband requests it all the time and even my 4 year old daughter liked it!

This will be the second time that i will made this and it does make alot so i bought some to work and all the girls wanted the receipe. I did find that it has to cook longer cause my cabbage was not soft enough but i think i will do like a other and do the cabbage in the micowave and get it cooked some. I used hunts spicy sauce and that has tons of favor. other wise i did the receipe to a tea. thanks for sharing:)
