Baked Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Casseroles

Easy, delicious and fun! Just like Mom used to make. I remembered she always used tomato soup, which really makes a yummy difference.

"Outstanding. One thing I would change is to not boil the cabbage leaves for 10 minutes. Much of them fell apart. Next time, I'm going to try 5 minutes.

Also, I used a mix of ground pork and ground hamburger - added a nice zing.

Suggestion for leftovers - I had way too much meat, so I combined meat, left over cabbage, bread crumbs, garlic, and diced tomatoes together and made a meat loaf for sandwiches the next day. " - Robpecor

Baked Stuffed Cabbage Rolls Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Carefully cut from the stem of the cabbage and peel off 10 large leaves. Place in boiling water, stir gently. Boil for about 5 minutes. Drain in colander and rinse with cold water. Gently lay leaves out on paper towels to dry. Cut stem from remaining cabbage and discard. Cut cabbage in half and grate into a large bowl, discarding any large pieces.

In a large frying pan over med-high heat, sauté onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add tomato, remaining cabbage, salt, pepper and red pepper if using. Cook and stir until liquid is gone and vegetables are soft, about 10 min. Remove from heat to cool.

In a large bowl, add ground beef, rice, cooled tomato mixture and bread crumbs. Mix well, adding more bread crumbs if mixture is too moist. It should be firm enough to handle.

Preheat oven to 375. Prepare a 13” x 9” baking dish with cooking spray. Working one at a time, place a cabbage leaf, stem side towards you, on work surface. Form a handful of meat mixture into a small “log”, place in middle of leaf. Fold sides in over meat, then stem side forward to make roll. Place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining meat mixture and cabbage leaves.

Wisk together soup, water and honey in a small bowl. Pour evenly over cabbage rolls. Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake at 375 for 1 hour. Remove foil, bake for another 20 minutes.

    Very nice. I added some Tuscany seasoning to the mixture to lift it. Chief taste tester said I could cook that one again.

    This was amazing! My husband loved it. As others said, I didn't know what to do with the cheese, so I mixed some in with the stuffing and added some on top the last 20 min. Also next time I would half the recipe for the stuffing, I also made a meatloaf with the remainder.

    Wish I would have scrolled further down in reviews and seen the try 5 min boil on leaves I did 8 min and they tore apart. No way to salvage this one tonight. I may try again some other day.

    Excellent recipe! While family loves it... I sprinkled with Parmesan cheese 10 mins prior to taking it out the oven. Also seasoned with Italian seasoning

    My mom doesn't have Internet access but she made this tonight and was over the moon. She's been looking for a stuffed cabbage recipe for so long. She too was nervous about cooking some of the cabbage in the filling. We both never heard of it. But this is a keeper for both of us!!!!! THANK YOU!

    Not sure where my first review was but these were OUTSTANDING! They reminded me of the ones my grandmother use to make in the old timey pressure cooker. LOVE the touch of honey in the sauce. Gave it just a lil but of sweetness that I remember from my grandmothers. I would suggest to only cook the cabbage 5 min so it doesn't fall apart.

    Forgot one last tidbit. I too had too much stuffing left over.. BUT NO PROBLEM. I froze it! All I need for next time is the soup, honey, cheese and cabbage!!!

    Tried this last night.. It was very good. I definitly had too much meat left but used it to make a little meatloaf. I added mushrooms to the recipe and it came out AWSOME!! Thanks for the recipe

    This was a great recipe, but I found the instructions didn't 'flow' well. I did sort of go through them in a linear way, which I'm used to. I found about halfway through that I should have cooked some rice ahead of time. This slowed down the process. I also never figured out what to do with the cheese so I just left it out of the recipe, although I could have combined it with the meat or sprinkled it on top. I'm not afraid to modify. The instruction issue was my fault as I didn't read through the recipe thoroughly before starting it. Just know that you need to do that. It's a great dish, and I'll make it again!

    Delicious! Whole family loved it and gobbled it up! I made double and forgot to add the cheese but I was planning on mixing the cheese into the meat mixture. I used some Italian seasoning in the meat mixture and Italian seasoning bread crumbs.
