In a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish, spread
half of cabbage in an even layer. Cover with all of
meat mixture. Spread remaining cabbage on top. Combine
remaining 1-1/4 cups tomato sauce and beef broth and
pour over casserole. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake 1 hour. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes longer.
(Just right for when you want to enjoy the flavors of
stuffed cabbage, but aren't up to "fussing" with
rolling leaves).
