Cabbage Rolls

A hearty, delicious comfort meal. Just be sure to provide plenty of prep time for this one because it is not a last minute meal!
Prep Time 5 hours

Equipment

  • Large heavy roasting pan

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs ground beef
  • 3/4 cup uncooked rice
  • 3/4 cup diced onions
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 medium heads cabbage
  • 27 oz can sauerkraut
  • 28 oz can stewed tomatoes

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Core the heads of the cabbage and place in boiling water, one at a time. Leave in the hot water for a few minutes then remove. Peel off the softened leaves and place on a paper towel to drain. Place cabbage back in hot water and repeat this process until all of the leaves have been removed off both heads of cabbage.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the ground beef, rice, salt, and pepper until well mixed and then shape into 2" meatballs. Wrap each meatball in a half leaf of cabbage and lay in a large heavy roasting pan. Once you've filled the bottom, pour on half of the can of sauerkraut and half of the can of tomatoes. Repeat the process with a second layer, finishing off the rest of the sauerkraut and tomatoes on top. Fill tomato sauce can and pour over the top of the rolls. Cover and bake at 350° for 3-4 hours. Serve warm with French bread. Enjoy!
