    I made this with turkey instead of beef, red cabbage and shredded carrots. No added salt, substituted red pepper flakes and everyone loved it. This is a keeper as well as one to share with family. Thanks for a great dinner. - 7/16/10

    This recipe is genius! I love cabbage rolls but I hate the time investment. This recipe is a perfect solution. When I made it, I used ground bison and omitted the green pepper and celery and used freshly shredded carrot instead. I found that I needed more liquid, onion & garlic powder and salt. - 10/12/09

    I've made this several times but I always thought it still needed something. I did tomato sauce instead of the V8 and added a can of diced tomatoes and some Louisiana hot sauce and it is just nearly perfect! - 1/25/11

    This was fantastic. I also added diced tomatoes and used the Springer Hill beef that is 2% fat. I made the whole recipe and the leftovers were wonderful!!! - 1/24/11

    MELLIEGAL1, I guess you must have figured it already, but normally you'd use raw rice, it should cook in the juices of meat and veggies. A hint from the original cuisine: add a couple of tbs of skim milk to the rice before you start cooking. Makes it more tender and creamier without extra calories! - 11/21/14

    I thought it was a little bland. Next time i will amp up the veggies, maybe add some tomato. More pepper and will use more v8 juice (low sodium so i can have more sauce). - 2/14/12
