CABBAGE ROLLS ITALIAN STYLE
Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage
- 1 lbs. ground beef
- 6 breakfast sausage patties
- 1 egg
- 3 cup rice, cooked
- 1 lg. onion, chopped
- 1 large bell pepper chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- 1 large jar pasta sauce
- Parmesan cheese
Directions
Core cabbage and boil 10 minutes. Separate leaves. Keep in boiling water until tender enough to bend leaves.
Season beef and breakfast sausage with garlic, salt and pepper. Add onion, bell pepper, beaten egg and 1 cup rice. Mix well.
Fill leaves with mixture. Roll like a burrito, tucking ends as you go using the largest leaves. Secure with toothpicks.
Place in bottom of large steamer. Add water to bottom not to touch rolls. Cook covered, simmering for 1 1/2 hours. if you monitor closely, you can boil on high adding water as needed, this will cook them quicker in 1 hr. While they are steaming put your favorite pasta sauce in a large pan, simmer and when cabbage rolls are done set them very carefully in the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. serve on a bed of the left over 2 cups of rice. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese! Yummy, my family loves them.
Editor's Note: Use the smaller leaves to line the bottom of the pan. Place the cabbage rolls on top of these leaves, and layer more leaves between each layer of cabbage rolls.
