Old Fashioned Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Detailed Recipe & Step By Step Instruction Here 👇
📋 Ingredients:
1 large head cabbage
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup cooked rice
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
📝Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large baking dish. 🍽️
2️⃣ Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the outer leaves are softened and easy to peel off. Remove the cabbage from the water and let it cool slightly. 🥬
3️⃣ In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. 🥩
4️⃣ Carefully peel off the softened cabbage leaves, being careful not to tear them. Place a portion of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf and roll it up, tucking in the sides as you go. Place the cabbage rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. 🥬🍽️
5️⃣ In a separate bowl, mix together diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls in the baking dish. 🍅🥫
6️⃣ Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage rolls are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. 🕒
7️⃣ Remove from the oven and let the Old Fashioned Stuffed Cabbage Rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then serve hot and enjoy! 🍲🥳
Notes 💡:
◻️ You can add diced carrots or celery to the meat mixture for extra flavor and nutrition. 🥕🥦
◻️ Leftover cabbage rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
