♥ Thank you for 2000 reviews & registered as a care recipe by experts ♥ Easier than stuffed cabbage rolls ♫
Soft meatballs that both adults and kids love!
The origin of this recipe
I bought cabbage and ground meat to make stuffed cabbage rolls. But it seemed a bit tedious, so I tried making it without rolling, and it was a big success. It became a popular tomato stew in our home.
