MawMaw's Cabbage Rolls

MawMaw's Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage Leaves

Ground Beef

Seasoning to taste

Tomato Sauce

Sour Kraut or Rice

• Blanch leaves in simmering water to make them easy to work with.
• I mix ground beef with my favorite seasoning (Usually garlic, salt & pepper) in a bowl.
• I make a "meatball"shaped form with the meat mixture that will fit inside the cabbage leaf and wrap the cabbage around the ball of meat.
• You can use tooth picks to ensure leaves stay put however I usually don't do this because I find it hard to fish them out after cooking.
• Put in a good sized pot on the stove.  
• When you have used all of your meat mixture, pour tomato sauce over cabbage rolls.
• Add a can of sour Kraut (Kraut gives it a tangy flavor that my family likes but you can user rice if you prefer).
• Cook on med heat (with the lid vented) until the meat mix is done stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Serve and Enjoy

Note:  Some cabbage may separate from the "roll" but my family never seems to mind and eats them up!
