Get all the fabulous flavors of traditional stuffed cabbage but without all the rolling! This one pan wonder is so sensational and super quick to make. I’ve made it skinny by using extra lean ground beef and brown Basmati rice instead of the usual white. Delight in the fact that 1 serving is just 199 calories, 3 grams of fat, and 5 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS!!! All you’ll need to serve this dish with is a simple salad. Freeze any leftovers for future meals, if you even have any. My family ate it 2 days in a row. It’s that good!
