Stuffed Cabbage

Add rice for a complete meal.

  • Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 Head Green Cabbage
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Onion Chopped
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Lb 90% Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Onion Sliced
  • 15 Oz Canned Tomatoes Diced
  • 8 Oz Canned Tomato Sauce
  • 1/4 Cup Ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1.5 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 9 Ginger Snaps Ground

Instructions

  1. Core cabbage and boil in large pot of salted water until leaves separate easily, about 10 minutes.

  2. In a food processor, combine egg, garlic, and chopped onion. Process until minced. Pour this mixture into ground beef and stir to combine. You may need a little water to help mixture to bind.

  3. Spread sliced onion on the bottom of a Dutch oven. Take a cabbage leaf, cut the center stem out, and place 1.5 tablespoons of meat mixture on leaf. Roll up cabbage folding in the sides to completely encapsulate the meat.

  4. Place roll, seam side down, on top of the sliced onions in the Dutch oven. Repeat until all the filling is used.

  5. In mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, and ginger snaps. Pour tomato gravy over the cabbage rolls. Using a spatula, make spaces between the rolls to assure the sauce reaches the bottom of the pan.

  6. Bring to a simmer, and cook with cover ajar for 2 hours. Keep heat very low to assure the onions and sauce do not scorch.

  7. Serve over rice.
