fitchick99

makes 12 rolls, serving is based on two rolls


1/2 cup uncooked white rice
12 leaves cabbage
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup minced onion
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 In a saucepan bring salted water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil cabbage leaves 2 minutes; drain.

3 In large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked rice, egg, milk, onion, ground beef, salt and pepper; stir well to combine. Place about 1/4 cup of meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf, and roll up, tucking in ends. Place rolls in slow cooker.

4 In small bowl, combine tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and Worcestershire. Pour over cabbage rolls. Cover and cook on low 8 to 9 hours.

I added a can of diced tomatoes to the sauce. Plus garlic for the ground beef stuffing! It really was great!

This sounds wonderful... If only my husband liked cabbage!!! Do you know if you can freeze it into portions for later?

yup you can, but make a little extra sauce to freeze along, I find that they soak up the sauce when you freeze them.

I made this tonight... I loved it!!! But my husband hates cabbage... I really have to make it when he's not home-the smell of cabbage throws him off.

Next time, I'm using the filling for bell peppers-I think it would be good for that, too!!!

Thanks, Fitchick!!!:flowerforyou:
