Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole

1 lb. ground beef or 3/4 lb. ground
    beef and 1/4 lb. ground pork
1 med. onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
About 8 C. cabbage, cored, qt.ed and cut
    into 1-in. strips
1/4 C. water
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes or tomato puree
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. white vinegar
1/2 tea. salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 tea. caraway seeds (optional)
1 clove garlic, finely minced

In a 6-qt. Dutch oven or other pot, brown the ground meats, draining off most fat that melts off.

Add the chopped onion and cook until onion wilts and softens, 3 to 5 min. Add the chopped cabbage and the water to the pot and cook until cabbage begins to soften and wilt, 5 to 8 min. more.

Add tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper, caraway seeds and garlic and stir to mix well. Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover. Simmer until cabbage is tender-crisp, 30 min. or more.

Serve over white rice or with rice on the side.

Serves 4 generously.
