Description
Warm and comforting Polish Cabbage Rolls filled with savory ground beef and rice, enveloped in tender cabbage leaves.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato soup
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for sauce, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the leaves from the cabbage head and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until soft.
- Combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl, mixing thoroughly.
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each cabbage leaf, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
- Spread a layer of tomato soup on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in the dish.
- Pour the remaining tomato soup over the top of the rolls. If using diced tomatoes, sprinkle them on top as well.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. If desired, uncover for the last 15 minutes of cooking to caramelize the sauce slightly.
- Serve warm, drizzled with broth from the dish, and enjoy!
