Introduction

My mother used to make these cabbage rolls when I was a little girl. For a better-for-you version substitute parboiled brown rice for the white rice and extra-lean ground beef.

Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    - 1 whole cabbage
    - 1 lb lean ground beef
    - 1/2 a medium onion, chopped
    - 1 egg
    - 1 cup uncooked brown rice
    - 2 cans tomato soup

Directions

1) Cut the core out of the bottom of a cabbage and submerge in a pot of water
2) Boil in water until all leaves can be removed one at a time (this time will depend on the cabbage)
3)Remove from water and set aside to cool
4) Preheat oven to 350 degrees
5) In a large bowl mix ground beef, onion, egg, and rice.
6) Remove leaves of cabbage and put a handful of filling in each.
7) Roll up and place neatly in a roasting pan
8) Pour tomato soup over cabbage rolls
9) Bake uncovered for 1 hour

Serves 4-6 (makes a whole medium roasting pan of rolls)

If cabbage is still too tough after an hour it means you didn't boil it long enough. Bake covered for 10 minute increments until cabbage has softened.

Number of Servings: 5

    I changed this recipe up a little bit. I used cooked white rice inside and added some celery to the mix too. For the sauce I used tomato sauce, worecestershire sauce, some bornw sugar, and a little bit of lemon juce. I also did mine in the slow cooker, all day on low. They They came out great! - 4/9/08

    I used a cabbage that had been fully frozen. I took it out of the freezer and let it totallly thaw out. This way it does not need to be cooked. It is ready to use. The leaves are very pliable. - 4/10/10

    O.K.
    I don't know...maybe I did something wrong, although I followed the recipe to the 'T'. The rice was undercooked and the cabbage was rough--not really edible. I cooked the cabbage for a hour and it was tender before baking! - 8/18/07

    I rated this as a five star.
    I would change the ground be4ef for ground turkey. I don't use ground beef anymore.
