Lazy Moose Cabbage Rolls

I love cabbage rolls!  I don't make the time to learn how to make them.  So I make lazy cabbage rolls in a deep frying pan or add a lot of broth and make it into a soup.
One more thing...we usually only have ground moose meat in the freezer, so we substitute it whenever beef is called for.  I'm so used to it now, I can barely tell the difference.  Moose is extremely lean.  I've been cooking with moose for a few years now.  I recently bought some extra lean ground beef and fried it up and was shocked at how much fat there was and how my meat was cooking in the fat, ew!  When I cook the moose, I have to add 1-2 cups of water just to give it something to cook in.

Lazy Moose Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients:
1 lb ground moose meat
1 med onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped
1 can low sodium diced tomatoes
pepper
oregano
1-2 c. low sodium beef broth

Directions:
Cook moose meat in frying pan with 1-2 c. of water.  While the meat is cooking, dice the onion. When the meat is a little more than half cooked, add the onions and garlic, finish cooking until the meat is no longer pink.
If your pan is big and deep, add the chopped cabbage directly to the meat mixture. Add 1c. beef broth. Cook on medium heat, stirring often. You will have to watch the cabbage mixture to see if you continue to need some moisture. Once the cabbage has cooked until soft, add the can of tomatoes and season with pepper and oregano.

Serve alone, with a side salad or over your favourite cooked rice.  Or, if you would like some soup, take the mixture and throw it into a crockpot with more beef broth for about 1 hour or so.
