Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully core the cabbage and submerge it in the boiling water. Boil for 5-10 minutes, or until the leaves are tender enough to peel away. Let the cabbage cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, egg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  4. Carefully peel the softened cabbage leaves from the head. If the inner leaves are too small, you can chop them and add them to the meat mixture. Trim any thick, tough ribs from the leaves.
  5. Place about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture onto the stem end of each cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides of the leaf and then roll it up tightly.
  6. In a baking dish, combine the crushed tomatoes, water, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Stir to combine.
  7. Arrange the stuffed cabbage rolls seam-side down in the baking dish, nestled into the tomato sauce.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
  9. Bake for 1 hour, or until the cabbage is very tender and the filling is cooked through.
  10. Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the rolls.

Notes

  • For a quicker preparation, you can freeze the rolled cabbage rolls before baking. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before baking as directed.
  • These cabbage rolls freeze well after baking. Let them cool completely, then store in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or a mixture of beef and pork for the ground beef.
