Extra Tomato Cabbage Rolls
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then carefully remove the softened outer leaves. Repeat until you have 12-14 leaves. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, chopped onion, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Roll up the leaves, tucking in the sides, and place them seam side down in a large baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Pour the tomato mixture over the cabbage rolls, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve the cabbage rolls hot, spooning extra tomato sauce from the baking dish over the top. Enjoy!
