Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef

In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, squash and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.

Stir in the cabbage, juice, water, soup mix and brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally.

Stir in rice. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until rice is tender. Yield: 4 servings.
