Cabbage Roll Casserole

This is one of my favorite:

Cabbage Roll Casserole

1 lb ground deer/beef
1 whole onion, chopped
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cups cooked rice
1 16oz cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup sucanant (or brown sugar)
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese
1 26oz Pasta Sauce

In a large skillet brown meat, onion, garlic, about 8 minutes. Drain. Add pepper and rice, mixing well. Spoon meat mixture into 3 quart casserole dish that has been sprayed. Top with shredded cabbage.

In a bowl mix together the pasta sauce and brown sugar. Pour over cabbage. Freeze in freezer bag.

(I usually get the 8x8 foil cake pans put my dish in it and cover with foil and place all of it in a freezer bag.)

To cook: Thaw. Bake covered for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and uncover last 5 minutes.
