tomato juice made this recipe too watery.I drained the juice and replaced with tomato soup -much better.Suggest starting with tomato soup. All else very good.

Wonderful and hearty. We added a little minced onion to the meat mixture. I also layered some sliced onion and sauerkraut with the rolls in the pot. I added brown sugar and a pinch of cloves to the tomato juice.

This recipe was sooooooo good. It was easy to make, but make sure you have plenty if not extra leaves to wrap the meat in. I like the to add sourkraut as other suggested. Big hit with the "in-laws" and great leftovers the next day.

Good recipe...easy to make. Stuck to the recipe as it was my first time making these and glad I did. Next time will have the courage to build on it.

I followed the instructions. I did alter it a little. I added ground chicken, deer sausage and ground beef. I also added extra garlic, black pepper and salt. I opted to bake it instead, b/c of the reviews. But the rice came out hard. The meat portion was delicious and flavorful. But it was hard to get pass the hard rice. I had to bake it for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Next time I will opt to use minute rice like someone suggested. Good starter recipe. Would've given five star if not for the hard rice. :-(

Wanted to give this a try, had most of the ingredients-glad I did. Thank you for the recipe. I also took others suggestions by adding saurkraut and apricot sauce. I substituted, using with what I had on hand, tomato puree, mixed basmati rice, Splenda with other spices, kosher salt etc. It was a nice change of pace and can't wait to make it again. Next time I'm going to try it using chopped turkey (if I'm brave enough)for the stuffing. Thank's again :)

we found it rather bland. Will add fresh garlic to the tomatoe juice while simmering. Perhaps will bake next time also. Was not a bad starting off recipe though.

I'm sure I could have found a receipe with Tomato Soup but I used this (twice so far) and substituted 2 can tomato soup per Lb of meat.

This was a great recipe, thank you for sharing it. However, i added garlic salt, fresh green pepper, and fresh tomato to the meat. Next time i will add some ground sausage. I also baked it at 350 for 1-1/2 hrs. instead of cooking it on stove top.
