I have been experimenting with different meals and of course my family loves it!  Tonight we had cabbage rolls, it was quite interesting but very delish! Hope you enjoy:)

Cabbage Rolls

Serves 6

1 – 3pound head of cabbage

1 pound ground beef

1 cup instant brown rice uncooked

1 large can of diced tomatoes

1 14.5 oz can of crushed tomatoes

1/2 tsp tarragon

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

——————–

Cook ground beef, drain and blot off with paper towels

Bring a stock pot full of salted water to boil

Remove hard center core of cabbage, cut or pull cabbage leaves (that’s the tricky part)

Place leaved in hot water and cook for about 3 minutes

Remove from water and place on dish towels or paper towels to drain

Mix the uncooked rice into the ground beef, half of the diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes, tarragon, salt, pepper, and garlic.

Place about a fist full of mixture, (approx. 2 tbsp) into each cabbage leaf, roll and squeeze out the liquid.

Place the rolls in a Dutch oven.  Add the remaining tomatoes and their juice, extra salt and pepper if desired.  Add enough water to cover the rolls.

Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Serve and enjoy. You can serve with sour cram or with roasted potatoes like we did.  Enjoy!!
