Preheat oven to 350.
Heat cabbage, water, and ¼ tsp salt to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until cabbage is wilted, about 5 minutes; drain.
Mix remaining ingredients together in a bowl.
Place half the cabbage in an ungreased 2-quart casserole. Spread beef mixture over cabbage, then top with remaining cabbage.
Cover and bake at 350 until done, about 1 hour.
Serve with cranberry sauce and creamed potatoes if desired.
