Easy Cabbage Casserole Un-Stuffed Golumkis

I like stuffed cabbage but not all
the work involved in making them.
One day I made this casserole using
the ingredients for Polish golumpki.
This is real easy and tastes quite good.

Ingredients:
1 bag cabbage cole slaw mix
1 lb ground beef 85/15
2 smoked bacon slices
1 cup of instant rice
1 large can tomato juice or V8
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Directions:
In the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish,
Place a slice of bacon on each end.
Spread the chopped cabbage on the bottom.
Crumble ground meat on top of cabbage and
sprinkle instant rice, season to taste.
Pour tomato juice or V8 over mixture,
if not covered add water to just cover.
Bake 350 degrees F. until cabbage is tender,
approx. 1 hour, Cool slightly and serve.
