What's different about these open-faced cabbage rolls? They are made on the stovetop in no time flat! Filled with seasoned rice, beef, tomatoes, and mint, the bundles pack in flavor.

Yields: 4 main-dish servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: About 20 minutes




1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 1/4 pounds lean (90%) ground beef
1 bag (8.8 ounces) heat-and-serve precooked rice pilaf (do not heat)
1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
1 small head green cabbage (about 2 pounds), cored




1. Transfer 1 cup canned tomatoes with some juice to medium bowl. Pour remaining tomatoes with juice into nonstick 12-inch skillet.

2. To tomatoes in bowl, add beef, rice, mint, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix to blend.

3. Remove 8 large cabbage leaves from head. Spoon 1/2 cup meat mixture into center of each leaf; arrange, open side up, in skillet over tomatoes. Cover skillet and cook mixture over medium-high heat 20 minutes or until beef loses its pink color.

4. To serve, place 2 stuffed cabbage leaves on each of 4 dinner plates. Spoon tomato sauce over cabbage.
