Stuffed Cabbages Rolls

 

These Stuffed Cabbage Rolls are so comforting and a nice departure from your typical winter foods. Packed with lean ground beef, onion, garlic, dill, and just a hint of nutmeg, these cabbage rolls are slow-cooked in marinara sauce until they’re melt-in-your-mouth delicious. So delicious.

Ingredients:

• 2 heads of cabbage
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 3 cups cooked rice
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp garlic
• 1 tbsp parsley
• 2 slices diced onion
• 1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
• 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce (in meat)
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Put a head of cabbage in a pot of boiling water, and peel off the cabbage leaves one at a time.
2. Cut off the rough part on the end of the cabbage leaf with a sharp knife.
3. Mix all ingredients together except the 15 oz can of tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes. Put a small amount (size of a sausage) on a cabbage leaf, and roll up like a fajita. Place seam side down in a casserole dish. Place some tomato sauce and a cabbage leaf or two on the bottom of the casserole dish to prevent the Halupky from burning.
4. Pour crushed tomatoes over the Halupkys.
5. Cover and bake for approximately 75 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
6. Turn the oven down to 325°F (165°C) and bake for approximately 90 more minutes until the cabbage is tender. Baste every hour.
7. Serve with tomato sauce.
