This is exactly how I make this, except that I only mix 1/2 a can of the tomato soup into the rice mixture. Then I pour the rest of the tomato soup on in layers like a sauce. I also only do one layer of meat stuff in the middle and end w/ cabbage on top and pour a whole can of tomato soup over the top. I like it to have some sauciness to it, because just like traditional cabbage rolls, we always serve this with mashed potatoes and the sauce is amazing over it! I make this and freeze it quite often. When freezing, I pre-cook the rice and saute the cabbage so that it's mostly cooked. I let it thaw in the fridge overnight and put it in the oven and yumm. Oh, you can also do this in the crockpot :) -
Made it first time exactly as written and we all really liked it, but we all thought it needed some spice. Now I have made this at least five more times. My changes is using one can tomato soup and one can of rotel, sometimes I will also add one or two tsps chili powder. And about 1 cup of beef broth. I also use the uncle Ben's ready rice "butter and garlic flavor" (do NOT microwave it first). I increase the the cabbage by at least one more cup, sliced very thin and then cut the long slices in half. If you end up with left overs then turn it into the best soup by adding some beef broth and spicy V-8 juice.....sooooo good! One last tip serve both the casserole and the leftover soup with hot crust bread!

Easy and good for you. Only problem I had was in READING the timing on the recipe carefully enough. I got it all together and ready to stick in the oven and THEN saw the hour and a half! One call to the Dominos man, and we had the Casserole the next day. -
Although I don't make it quite this way, it is similar and very good. I add a can of petite diced tomatoes to the cooked hamburger/onion mixture and 1 cup of rice that is not cooked. Various spices that I like, and I use tomato sauce, sweetened just a bit with some sugar that is poured over the layered mixture. I cook the casserole in an electric pressure cooker for approximately 20 minutes after it comes to pressure.

Changed one of the cans of tomato soup to Rotel tomatoes.

This has fast become a family favorite. Occasionally I will replace part of the tomato soup with tomato sauce or diced tomatoes, and I usually buy the coleslaw mix with carrots to save time. My husband asks for it ALL the time, and even the kids like it.
