Country Cabbage Rolls Straight From A Mennonite Kitchen
🍽️ Craving a comforting, hearty meal? Let's whip up some scrumptious Stuffed Cabbage Rolls! 🥬🥘
**Ingredients:**
- 2 lbs. of savory Ground Beef
- 1 Large, fresh Cabbage
- 2 C. of fluffy Cooked Rice
- 1 Tbsp. of golden Olive Oil
- ½ Medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Large, farm-fresh Eggs
- 2 Cans of rich Tomato Soup
- 1 Can of juicy Diced Tomatoes
- 1 Can of Chicken Broth
- ½ tsp. of aromatic Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper (season to your heart's content!)
**Cooking Steps:** 🍳
1. Start by giving your cabbage a nice, steamy bath in a pot of boiling water. Use tongs or a knife stuck into the core to flip it around occasionally. Once the outer leaves soften, gently remove them and set aside for later.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and toss in the onions. Cook until they start to soften and release their tantalizing aroma.
3. Time to get your hands dirty! In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, onions, eggs, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix it all together until it's well combined.
4. Now, let's stuff those cabbage leaves! Scoop about ⅓ cup of the meat mixture into each leaf, fold the edges into the center and then fold the ends in to create a neat little package of deliciousness.
5. Arrange your cabbage parcels in a 9×13 baking dish, open side down. Preheat your oven to a cozy 325 degrees.
6. In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato soup, diced tomatoes, broth, and more salt and pepper. Pour this tangy tomato concoction over the cabbage rolls in the baking dish.
7. Cover your casserole dish with some shiny aluminum foil and pop it in the oven. Bake for 2 hours, until the flavors have all melded together.
8. Patience is a virtue! Let your culinary masterpiece sit for 10 minutes before serving.
There you have it, folks! A comforting dish ready to warm your bellies and delight your taste buds. Enjoy! 🍽️🥂
