    Looks good and I'll definitely try it; however, here's a tip for making cabbage rolls that makes it a whole lot easier. Instead of 'carefully peeling off 10 leaves', place the head of cabbage in a large pot and steam for a few minutes. The leaves will then just lift off easily. - 11/23/08

    I made this tonight. I would recomend adding 1 tbs garlic and some oregano to the meat mixture. i also used 1/2 cup white wine in the sauce mix, and after rolling the leaves, i baked it for 30 mins at 350. easier then trying to get them to hold together in the skillet. - 7/8/08

    I have had caggage rolls before, or as my german grandmother called them "pigs in a blanket" . Grandma always put cabbage in the freezer instead of boiling and then you don't have to wait for them to cool down to use. Just thaw the day that you want to make them and the leaves are ready to go. - 5/27/08

    I made 1 pound of each meat and it made about 16 cabbage rolls. My kids loved it the sauce is a little sweet but really good with a side of brown rice. I put the left- overs in individual containers and froze them for later - 6/1/09

    This tasted better than it looked. I used all lean ground beef. It could use a little more flavoring, maybe some V8 juice instead of water. - 5/29/08
