Mrs Galumpki'S Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
- green cabbage, prepared (one large head, see How to Prepare Cabbage Leaves for Stuffing)
- 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20 or leaner works)
- 1 lb lean pork, ground
- 1 cup long grain rice (prepared according to your rice cooker directions or box directions)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
- 1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, drained and liquid reserved (remember 1 pound cans?)
- In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil.
- Add rice and stir.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Or use your rice cooker.
- Prepare the cabbage leaves according to Recipe #305376. Remove the tough stem and ribs. It is okay to use a large leaf patched up with a smaller leaf. Save the center of the cabbage and chop it up to use as a bed in your pot.
- Combine the meat, cooked rice, onion, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Stir in half can of tomato soup and mix well.
- Put about a scant 1/4 cup of filling in each leaf.
- Roll them up from the stem end folding the sides in so the filling does not fall out.
- Do not roll too tight, just snug.
- Use a toothpick to keep them from unrolling in your pot.
- In a large wide pot, add the remainder of the cabbage, chopped up.
- This is the bed the little rolls will lay on.
- Add 1/2 cup tomato juice to the bed.
- Line up the cabbage rolls on top (It is okay to double stack them if you need to).
- Mix the rest of the soup with the drained stewed tomatoes and pour over the rolls.
- Put a lid on the pot and cook on medium heat until the pot boils.
- Lower heat and continue cooking for 50 to 60 minutes longer until the cabbage leaves are very tender.
- Keep the heat on low.
- Keep the rolls warm in your crock pot if you like.
- Option; bake them in a 325 degree Fahrenheit oven, tightly covered, for two or three hours after being brought to the boil.
- Check for tenderness of the cabbage leaves.
