Kittencals Cabbage Rolls With Tomato

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I haven't made these in a couple years now but my husband asked for cabbage rolls again and this was the recipe that "Tastes just like Mom's". His mom passed a year ago so I figured I would treat him. I will be making them again for him and will surprise him with them when he comes home from work at the end of the week. I boil my cabbage before hand (only because I always forget to take them out of the freezer.) I always double or triple (and have even quadrupled) the recipe and especially the sauce. I cook one batch in the stove top roaster and another in the oven in my turkey roaster. If I'm going through all the work of making cabbage rolls, I do it up right ;) Freeze in containers large enough for two people to have a meal because our son doesn't like cabbage rolls. I know the MIL never used saurkraut from a jar but she always used sour cabbage so I think that is what makes these "just like Mom's". As always, Kittenkal's hit the mark.

    Kittencal’s Cabbage Rolls With Tomato Sauce,This is my own recipe that I have made for over 25 years, I have made these for weddings, socials and large get togethers and everyone loves them — I have two large cabbage listed as you will need extra cabbage leaves to line the bottom and top of the pan to prevent the rolls from over browning which may happen during the long cooking time — cooked rice will also be fine for this and if you like lots of rice you may increase amount — make certain that the heads of cabbage are frozen then completely thawed before starting this recipe, this will allow for easy removal of the leaves, allow the frozen cabbage heads thaw at room temperature overnight in bowls — to save some time I most always remove the cabbage leaves a day ahead and refrigerate in a bowl and you may even prepare the ground beef mixture a day ahead so the following day just mix the sauce roll and cook — for these cabbage rolls I do not precook the ground beef it will cook thoroughly in the oven — I have listed the sauerkraut as optional if you are a sauerkraut-lover then add it in I most always do it really adds extra flavor to the cabbage and you may use more than 1/2 cup if desired — the amounts listed will fill a 13 x 9-inch pan very full or even better so you do not over crowd the rolls a larger pan may be used or use two pans and freeze one for another meal, just thaw overnight in the fridge then allow to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours then cook as stated — if you like lots of sauce then you may double amounts but I would suggest to make it in a larger baking pan if you are doubling the sauce.,I haven’t made these in a couple years now but my husband asked for cabbage rolls again and this was the recipe that “Tastes just like Mom’s”.

My Hubby says this recipe was the absolute closest recipe to his beloved Grandmothers’ cabbage roll recipe, which unfortunately, no one in the family learned any of her wonderful food recipes. It’s SO important to pass these things down. Thank You for sharing your delicious recipe for all of us to enjoy!! ;)) this is the recipe that we will stick with for our family.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Set Oven to 350 Degrees F (second-Lowest Oven Rack).

    2
    Done

    Grease a 13 X 9-Inch Baking Pan or Use a Larger Pan (for Easier Clean Up I Strongly Advise to Use a Disposable Heavy Foil Pan).

    3
    Done

    Make Certain That the Cabbage Heads Are Completely Thawed Before Using For This (to Do This Remove the Heads of Cabbage from Freezer and Place in a Bowl Then Thaw at Room Temperature Overnight).

    4
    Done

    Using a Small Sharp Knife Carefully Remove the Hard Core/Stem from the Center of the Head, Then Remove the Leaves from the Cabbage (you May Need to Keep Slicing Off Some Middle Part to Remove the Leaves Easier).

    5
    Done

    to Speed Up Cooking Time You May Want to Cook the Leaves in Boiling Salted Water For About 8-10 Minutes This Will Give the Cabbage Rolls a Head Start and Reduce Cooking Time Slightly.

    6
    Done

    Using Your Hands Gently Squeeze Out 2 to 3 Leaves at a Time to Remove Excess Water, Then Place the Leaves in a Large Bowl; Set Aside.

    7
    Done

    For Meat Filling; Using Clean Hands Mix All Ingredients Together For the Meat Filling in Large Bowl Until Thoroughly Combined.

    8
    Done

    For Sauce; in Another Bowl Combine All Sauce Ingredients Together Until Blended (adjust the Salt and Pepper to Taste).

    9
    Done

    Line the Bottom of the Pan With Cabbage Leaves (due to the Long Cooking Time This Will Protect the Rolls from Over Browning/Burning in the Pan While Cooking, You May Also Place Leaves on Top of the Sauce Then Cover With Foil but That Is Optional).

    10
    Done

    Using a Large Spoon or a Ladle Drizzle Half of the Sauce Over the Leaves Then Spread Out to Cover the Leaves (does not Have to Cover the Leaves Completely).
