These little pockets of joy are so Simple, Easy, and Delicious. An old family recipe for many generations that never changed. How could we? Very scrumptious using tomato soup as the sauce instead of tomato sauce makes all the difference.
Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 head Loose Leaf Cabbage
- 1 LB Ground Beef
- 1 Cup Cooked Rice
- 1/2 Onion Diced
- 1 Egg
- 2 Cans Tomato Soup 10.5 oz each
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 TBS Parsley
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Rice (1/2 cup rice, 1 cup water, salt). Bring water and salt to boil, add rice, turn down heat to low, cover and cook for 12-15 minutes.
- In a large pot bring around 2-3 inches of water to a boil. Cut off the bottom portion of core from the cabbage. Place the whole head of cabbage into pot of boiling water, place a lid on it and steam for 2-3 minutes. Remove leaves that are flexible and place onto paper towels to drain. Repeat the process until you are at center of cabbage.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl mix ground beef, cooked rice, diced onion, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Take 1 cabbage leaf and place 2 TBS of meat mixture in center of leaf. Pull the core of leaf over the mixture. Pull sides in and roll to close. Place seam side down into baking dish. Repeat until desired amount of leaves are filled.
- Cut up remaining cabbage to the core and place in bowl that meat mixture was in. Any remaining meat mixture just adds flavor.
