Lazy cabbage rolls with cabbage and minced meat in the oven

Simple lazy cabbage rolls with cabbage and minced meat. Another familiar two-in-one dish. Having prepared lazy cabbage rolls with cabbage, you don’t need to choose a side dish for them - they can be both a side dish and a main dish at the same time. A taste familiar from childhood - after all, I often encountered it in preschool institutions and at school. And housewives often cook cabbage rolls at home. They are easy to prepare, although it seems like there are a lot of steps to prepare.
