Stuff Cabbage

 

One of my favorite dishes, with a side of mashed potatoes with the sauce over them as well.

 

Ingredients:

2 heads of cabbage

2 lbs. ground beef

3 cups cooked rice.

1 egg

1 tsp garlic

1 tbsp parsley

2 slices diced onion.

1 -15 oz. can of tomato sauce.

1-28 oz. can crush tomatoes.

1/4 cup tomato sauce (in meat)

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

place a cabbage head in a pot of boiling water and peel off the cabbage leaves one at a time. With a sharp knife, trim the rough end of the cabbage leaf.  Combine all ingredients except the 15 oz can of tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes in a mixing bowl, then spoon a small amount onto a cabbage leaf, roll up like a fajita, and place seam side down in a casserole dish. To keep the Halupky from burning, I put tomato sauce and a cabbage leaf or two on the bottom of the casserole dish. Serve with crushed tomatoes.

Bake for 75 minutes at 375oF with the lid on. Reduce the heat to 325o and bake for another 90 minutes until the cabbage is tender. Every hour, baste.

Garnish with tomato sauce.
