Spicy Cabbage Casserole

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 10 oz. can Ro-tel tomatoes, chopped
3 15 oz. cans tomato sauce
1 cup uncooked rice
1 cabbage, shredded
12 oz. grated American cheese

In a deep heavy skillet over moderately high heat, combine the beef, onion, garlic, bell pepper, oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring constantly, until brown. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and rice and mix thoroughly. In a buttered 9x13" casserole dish, layer the meat mixture, cabbage, and cheese. Bake the casserole, covered, at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Serves 4-6, unless you are eating with me. Then it only feeds 2!
