The first time I made cabbage rolls, I followed a recipe I found online and it took FOREVER to make. They were delicious cabbage rolls, but I was put off with how long they took to make. So, I did not make them again for a long time!
Last week, I thought there was no way that cabbage rolls would take THAT long to make. There had to be an easier way to make them. So, I searched once again online and found a recipe that was so easy to make that I was shocked! I was also excited!
I gathered all the ingredients and started making cabbage rolls. This time, I did not really follow the directions but instead, I added other stuff and made that recipe my own.
It is always fun to create your own dishes and alter recipes. My creative side comes out in the kitchen! My cabbage rolls came out SO delicious that is was criminal! 🙂
- 1 lb of ground meat
- 1/2 onion
- 1 teaspoon of garlic
- Johnny’s Salt (to your taste)
- 5 baby carrots chopped
- 6 big leaves of cabbage
- 2 medium cans of tomato sauce
- I small bag of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 large green bell pepper, chopped
- brown ground meat in pan
- add 1/2 onion, chopped
- add 1 teaspoon of garlic
- add Johnny’s Salt to taste
- add 5 chopped up baby carrots
- add chopped green bell pepper
- can of tomato sauce and mix well
- While meat is cooking bring a pan of water to a boil, add salt to it
- When water is boiling, add the cabbage leaves and boil for about 5-8 minutes until tender/soft
- Spoon meat mixture in each cabbage leaf and roll tightly
- Put cabbage leaf with meat inside a pan
- Pour can of tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls
- Sprinkle bag of mozzarella cheese over cabbage rolls
- Cover with aluminum foil, loosely
- Put into oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes
- Take out of the oven and serve hot!
- I always have leftover meat, so you can either make more cabbage rolls or make a casserole the next night for dinner!
- Enjoy!
See? Easy peasy! Anyone can make these and they are SO good. They were literally gone in about 1/2 hour. They were so yummy! Promise you will like them too.
