Finnish Lihakaalilaatikko - Meat and Cabbage Casserole
5.0(6)
Absolutely delicious! It's what I make when I want creamy cabbage rolls, but is much easier to make. Good for potlucks! Adapted from a recipe from "The Finnish Cookbook" by Beatrice A. Ojakangas.
04In another bowl, mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, and eggs.
05Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
06Place a layer of the cabbage mixture into the dish, then a layer or meat mixture; repeat until mixtures are used up, ending with the cabbage.
07Sprinkle with the Parmesan then bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
08Let sit for 5 minutes before serving, then serve alongside lingonberries, cranberry sauce, or currant jelly.
09Note: this is also good with 3/4 lb ground beef and 1/4 lb ground pork; you can also mix in about 1/2 cup of tomato-based pasta sauce into the cabbage mixture, if you're wanting tomato.
