A traditional Polish dish of cabbage leaves stuffed with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, rice, and seasonings, baked in a tomato-based sauce.

  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 8 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cabbage
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 (10.75 oz) cans tomato soup
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the core from the cabbage. Boil the cabbage in salted water for 12-14 minutes until leaves peel off easily. Remove 8 leaves for rolls and extra leaves for the baking dish.
  2. Line the bottom of an 11×8 baking dish with extra cabbage leaves.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  4. Boil water in a saucepan, add rice, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Mix tomato soup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
  6. Combine ground beef, cooked rice, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of the tomato soup mixture in a large bowl.
  7. Place cabbage leaves on a clean surface. Add the beef mixture to the center of each leaf, roll up, and secure with a toothpick. Place rolls in the baking dish.
  8. Pour remaining tomato soup mixture over the rolls. Cover with extra cabbage leaves and aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 90 minutes until beef is fully cooked. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use large, flexible cabbage leaves for easier rolling.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
