Hamburger Cabbage Casserole

1 pound hamburger
1 large onion, chopped
½ cup uncooked instant rice
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper (I use 1/4 tsp so it's not so "spicy")
1 can tomato soup
¼ cup water
4 cups coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage

Cook hamburger and onion until meat is brown. Stir in rice, salt, pepper, soup, and water. Place cabbage in ungreased 2-quart dish. Spoon beef mixture over cabbage. Cover and bake about 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

**We had this for dinner last night. When cooking, the cabbage becomes much smaller due to the water content. The cabbage does not have a strong flavor and I'm able to get most of my family to eat this by not telling them that there's cabbage at the bottom. I serve it with mashed potatoes (cannery).
