Jody used to love when Oma Ruth would make her famous stuffed cabbage. Not sure where Oma got the recipe but it is the ultimate comfort food.
INGREDIENTS:
Cabbage
Ground Beef
Rice
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Tomato Sauce
Cabbage
Ground Beef
Rice
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Tomato Sauce
HOW TO:
Place cabbage in boiling water. Reduce to simmer and wait until the leaves come off easily. Drain cabbage and cool slightly. Take apart cabbage leaves and trim the thick vein from the bottom of each cabbage leaf, making a V-shaped cut. If there are small leaves you can cut them up and place on bottom of baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine rice, eggs, salt and pepper. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Place about 1/4 cup beef mixture on each cabbage leaf. Pull together cut edges of the leaf to overlap; fold over filling. Fold in sides and roll up.
Place rolls in a casserole dish, seam side down (or in a slow cooker). Pour sauce over cabbage rolls. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours in slow cooker, at at 350 for one hour or until a thermometer inserted in beef reads 160° and cabbage is tender.
