by SLColman





12 servings 2戮 hours 45 min prep


Change to: servings US Metric


1 large head of cabbage


1 large onion, chopped


2 cups cooked rice


1 lb lean ground beef


1 lb ground pork


2 eggs


1 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon pepper


1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans campbell's tomato soup


1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice


1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes





You should try to find the largest head of cabbage possible. The larger the head the more leaves large enough to stuff.


Put a large pot of water on to boil.


When it comes to a boil place cored cabbage in it to soften leaves.


Mix together beef, pork, rice, egg, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.


Peel off outer layers of cabbage when they are flexible. Cut out hard vein if needed.


Lay leaves out flat put a portion of the meat mixture on the stem side of the leaf.


fold leaf over the meat and fold in sides of leaf. Then roll up to the end. Make sure that you do not put so much meat that you can not roll it up.


Place that roll into a deep oven safe dish or preferably a roaster with lid. Repeat until you have filled all the leaves large enough to stuff or you run out of meat filling.


Mix together the tomato soup, tomato juice, and diced tomatoes.


Pour the tomato sauce mixture on top of the rolls.


Cover with foil or with roaster lid if available and bake for at least 90 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The longer and slower you cook these the better they are.


Note: The cabbage rolls may be filled and rolled then frozen for later use. Thaw the rolls then continue on with the recipe.


Note: This can also be made without the work of the traditional rolls. Make meatballs of the desired size, shred the cabbage and place in a layer on the bottom of the pan and then on the top of the meatballs before pouring the sauce over.


Note: You may add sauerkraut to this recipe if you like. Just place it in a layer either under or over the cabbage rolls. This may be considered traditional but it is not how my family likes it.

This is one of my late Polish grandmother's recipes out of an old book called ';Polish Favorites';. This variation has bread in the meat mixture, while her other recipe (which I am looking for) has rice in it.

1-2 head cabbage


2 slices stale bread


3/4 lb ground beef


1 onion, minced


2 tablespoons butter


1 egg


1 1/4 teaspoons salt


1/2 teaspoon pepper


1 cup beef broth


Sauce


3 tablespoons flour


3 tablespoons butter


3 tablespoons tomato paste


salt


pepper


sugar


paprika





Boil cabbage long enough that leaves separate without tearing.


Select 10 to 12 of the largest leaves and trim off midribs so leaves become easy to roll.


Soak bread in water and squeeze out.


Combine with meat and mix thouroughly.


Cook onion in butter until golden.


Add with egg and salt and pepper to meat mixture.


Divide into as many portions as there are cabbage leaves and spread evenly on leaves.


Roll firmly, tucking edges so stuffing will not escape and secure with cotton thread, if desired.


If there are not enough large leaves, use 2 small leaves.


Slice some of the remaining cabbage and place in the bottom of a large pot.


Arrange cabbage rolls tightly on top and add broth.


Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.


Arrange on hot platter, pour sauce over top and serve with hot boiled potatoes.


Sauce: Make a roux with the flour and butter.
