Recipe

• 3 open the tomatoes use them and the liquid with them to deglaze the pan in which the meat was browned. break up the tomatoes while you do this.
• 4 pour contents of the pan over the layered meat, cabbage, and onions.
• 5 cover the pot and place in a slow oven (about 200-250 degrees f) for about 2 hours.
