My family absolutely loves cabbage rolls. I remember as a kid when Mom would make them pretty much the entire neighborhood would invite themselves to dinner! Everyone always knew by the smell that she was cooking them! She always did hers low & slow on the stove top & cooked them from early morning until dinner time! I started making them after she passed away & I've been tweaking them along the way! This is my version now! :)

Steps

1

Dice onion small, put in big mixing bowl. Add everything in bowl except cabbage, tomatoes, tomato juice. Mix with hands thoroughly
2

Once meat mixture is combined put about 4-6 heaping TBS in middle of cabbage leaf, roll like a burrito
3

Place in large roasting pan seam side down. Continue this until all mixture is used
4

If you have extra cabbage dice it & scatter on top the rolls.
5

Pour tomato juice over rolls to cover them, pour diced tomatoes evenly over top.
6

Cover & place in oven at 350° until cabbage is cooked to your liking & rice, onion is cooked completely
7

You can also make these in the slow cooker but I'm not sure of the times, I just cook until done. Also you can cook in oven at 250° for about 4-6 hours until done.

My family & I are addicted to them! Also a little bit of advice, these taste better if you let them sit in the juice covered for about 20-30 minutes after pulling from oven! Even better advice is they always taste better as leftovers... I like to serve with mashed potatoes or crusty Italian bread but they are equally delicious alone! I hope you'll enjoy them!! :)
