Southern Living Cabbage Rolls Recipes

SOUTHERN CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring approximately 3 quarts of water to a boil.
• Gently cut into the root of the cabbage to allow the leave to come off easily.
• Place the head of cabbage into the boiling water. Occasionally turn the cabbage over to soften all sides.
• While the cabbage leaves are softening, prepare the meat mixture. Still keep an eye on the cabbage.
• In a large bowl, mix the meat, salt, pepper, ground garlic, and rice thoroughly. Set aside.
• As the cabbage softens, gently pull cabbage leaves off the head (without tearing them if possible). Please the leaves on a plate or dish.
• Stuff the cabbage leaves with about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture. To do this, place a scoop of meat in the center of the leaves. Fold all 4 side over and place the roll, folded end side down, in a crock pot.
• Working in layers of, rolls, a portion of the tomato sauce, and a can of Ro-tel, fill up the crock pot. This should make approximately 3 layers (10 rolls or so).
• Sprinkle the top layer with the sugar. Cut the head of garlic in half and set in the center. Cover the pot and cook for 8 hours on high or 12 on low.
• Remove the garlic head and serve the roll with/over rice.
