Cabbage Rolls (Meat)
- 1/2 pounds Ground Beef (you Can Do A Pound If You Do Not Eat Pork)
- 1/2 pounds Ground Pork
- 1/2 cups Uncooked Rice
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 whole Small Onion, Finely Chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic - Crushed (Optional)
- 1 pinch Salt And Pepper (or Two)
- 2 cans (8 Oz. Can) Tomato Sauce
- 1 head Cabbage
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 whole Small Green Pepper
- 1 can (8 Oz. Size) Fire Roasted Tomatoes (optional)
- Cook rice in boiling water until halfway done.
- In a small bowl, combine rice, meat, egg and onion, garlic.
- Salt and pepper to taste (but dont taste it as it is raw)I add a pinch or two of both.
- Cut whole leaves of cabbage off the base.
- Put cabbage leaves in boiling water for 5 minutes or until bright green and easily folded.
- Drain.
- While the leaves are still warm, take about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mixture and roll inside of cabbage leaf, tucking the sides of the cabbage in.
- Put flap side down in a 3-quart sauce pan.
- Stuff green pepper as well.
- According to my aunt, the green pepper adds flavor and is important, but leave it out if you do not like green peppers.
- Continue stuffing cabbage leaves until all meat is used up.
- Cover the rolls with tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cover and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 1 and 1/2 hours.
- Serve.
- Notes: Cut up any left over cabbage and put it in the same pan.
- Sometimes I use one can of fire roasted tomatoes as well.
