I also fried separate a lot of shredded carrot and chopped onion added tomato sauce and put it on the bottom and between each lawyer of stuffed cabbage, cooked t in crock pot for about 7 hours came out delicious. Usually I put cabbage in hot eater and then with knife and big kitchen tongs taking leaves apart, I did the same thing but also left cabbage in the freezer over night then put in the hot water and did it as usually, with freezer one much easy bec leaves so flexible and not ripping apart while u peeling :))

I made ,it was good,but i did some deviation from the original: i used a mixture half -half ground beef and ground pork,it makes it softer, salt and pepper enough to give taste to the meat, i also used a lot of fine chopped fresh dill when covered with diluted tomato sauce and added up a cup of sauerkraut juice from one of the sauerkraut plastic bags you can find in the fridge of the grocery store.....it was really delicious

Instead of ground beef, I used Italian style turkey sausage. My husband ate this for breakfast, lunch and dinner for 3 days!

Very good. Make sure to add lots of sauce and use cabbage leafs without the hard steam part or it becomes hard to cut. Easy to prep and make. Makes two good meals for a single guy like me.

Pretty good, I boiled the cabbage instead and used ground turkey instead of beef. It was pretty good, but I have had better.

Good basic receipe - used ground turkey and savoy cabbage where the leaves are firmer and easy to work with when seperating - cut off the hard core from the leaves and boiled them until soft enough to roll the meat filling. I also added garlic and thawed, squeesed cut frozen spinach. I tried using instant brown rice in lieu of the cooked rice, added two cans of tomato soup - and it all worked. Delicious and you can freeze left overs.

A delicious and easy dish. The only thing I do differently is microwave the head of cabbage rather than freeze it. It works well and doesn't take as long as freezing and defrosting a whole cabbage. Just remove some of the core, stick the whole head in a bowl with a bit of water, cover it, then cook as you might a head of cauliflower. Depending on the size of the cabbage, it can take 8-10 minutes. I flipped it over halfway through. Let it cool & remove the leaves. I have also substituted ground turkey for the beef with great results.

I had to give this three stars, I realize every family has their own way of doing stuffed cabbage, but I NEVER freeze the cabbage plus the mixture was too bland. I always core the cabbage and boil it first. I also use 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound ground pork, 2 eggs, parsley, and a bit of garlic powder. I also use tomato sauce mixed with a bit of leftover cabbage water instead of tomato soup. I baked it the oven for 2 & 1/2 hours. This is always best served with mashed potatoes.
