KITTENCAL'S SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE AND SAUSAGE TOMATO SAUTE



Kittencal's Sweet and Sour Cabbage and Sausage Tomato Saute image

If you are searching for a really tasty dish made with sausages, then this is really good! it's my own creation, and my family loves this! Although this is a easy dish to put together, the cabbage will need some time to cook to desired tenderness, so this dish will take a couple of hours or a little less on top of the the stove. If you have some over ripe tomatoes chop them up and add into the sauce. All seasonings can be adjusted to suit taste, if you prefer a more sweeter taste, then just add in more brown sugar, you can really use how many sausages that you like, just make certain to purchase the large Italian spicy or regular, not the small breakfast pork sausages. Make certain that you use a very large frypan for this, or a Dutch oven, the cabbage takes up lots of space when cooking. I use my large electric frypan. Serve this over cooked rice. You will love this!

KITTENCAL'S CABBAGE ROLLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Kittencal's Cabbage Rolls With Tomato Sauce image

This is my own recipe that I have made for over 25 years, I have made these for weddings, socials and large get togethers and everyone loves them --- I have two large cabbage listed as you will need extra cabbage leaves to line the bottom and top of the pan to prevent the rolls from over browning which may happen during the long cooking time --- cooked rice will also be fine for this and if you like lots of rice you may increase amount --- make certain that the heads of cabbage are frozen then completely thawed before starting this recipe, this will allow for easy removal of the leaves, allow the frozen cabbage heads thaw at room temperature overnight in bowls --- to save some time I most always remove the cabbage leaves a day ahead and refrigerate in a bowl and you may even prepare the ground beef mixture a day ahead so the following day just mix the sauce roll and cook --- for these cabbage rolls I do not precook the ground beef it will cook thoroughly in the oven --- I have listed the sauerkraut as optional if you are a sauerkraut-lover then add it in I most always do it really adds extra flavor to the cabbage and you may use more than 1/2 cup if desired --- the amounts listed will fill a 13 x 9-inch pan very full or even better so you do not over crowd the rolls a larger pan may be used or use two pans and freeze one for another meal, just thaw overnight in the fridge then allow to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours then cook as stated --- if you like lots of sauce then you may double amounts but I would suggest to make it in a larger baking pan if you are doubling the sauce.

Categories     Rice

Time 3h40m

Yield 16-20 cabbage rolls

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large head green cabbage (frozen then completely thawed)
1/2 cup sauerkraut, hand-squeezed out to remove excess moisture (optional or adjust to taste)
1 lb lean uncooked ground beef
1 lb lean uncooked ground pork (or use 2 pounds lean ground beef or 1 lb each seasoned bulk pork sausage and ground beef)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional but good to add in for for extra flavor)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic powder (or use 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic)
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 -2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/2-3/4 cup uncooked instant Minute Rice (can increase to 1 cup)
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 (10 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1/2-1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (I like to also add in some cayenne pepper also for a little heat)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F (second-lowest oven rack).
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan or use a larger pan (for easier clean up I strongly advise to use a disposable heavy foil pan).
  • Make certain that the cabbage heads are completely thawed before using for this (to do this remove the heads of cabbage from freezer and place in a bowl then thaw at room temperature overnight).
  • Using a small sharp knife carefully remove the hard core/stem from the center of the head, then remove the leaves from the cabbage (you may need to keep slicing off some middle part to remove the leaves easier).
  • To speed up cooking time you may want to cook the leaves in boiling salted water for about 8-10 minutes this will give the cabbage rolls a head start and reduce cooking time slightly.
  • Using your hands gently squeeze out 2 to 3 leaves at a time to remove excess water, then place the leaves in a large bowl; set aside.
  • FOR MEAT FILLING; using clean hands mix all ingredients together for the meat filling in large bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • FOR SAUCE; in another bowl combine all sauce ingredients together until blended (adjust the salt and pepper to taste).
  • Line the bottom of the pan with cabbage leaves (due to the long cooking time this will protect the rolls from over browning/burning in the pan while cooking, you may also place leaves on top of the sauce then cover with foil but that is optional).
  • Using a large spoon or a ladle drizzle half of the sauce over the leaves then spread out to cover the leaves (does not have to cover the leaves completely).
  • Stuff the cabbage leaves tightly but carefully with the meat mixture (I use about 1/3-cup for larger leaves).
  • Roll up tightly and place the rolls in a single layer on top of the cabbage leaves and sauce in the baking dish.
  • Drizzle the remaining sauce over the rolls (using a butter knife separate the rolls slightly to insure the sauce settles between and around each roll).
  • Sprinkle about 1/2 cup or a little more sauerkraut over the sauce (if using).
  • At this point you may cover the rolls with more leaves if desired (this is optional but good to do).
  • Cover tightly with foil.
  • IMPORTANT; if you are using a 13 x 9-inch dish it will be very full so place on a large jelly-roll pan to catch any spills.
  • Cook at 350 degrees F (oven rack set to second-lowest position) for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until the cabbage is very tender, the cooking time will vary depending on how thick the cabbage leaves are and if you have pre-boiled the leaves firstly, I usually check after about 2 hours).

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS BARBECUE SAUCE FOR CHICKEN AND RIBS



Kittencal's Famous Barbecue Sauce for Chicken and Ribs image

This is the best barbecue sauce, and trust me I have experimented with hundreds of different combinations over the years, this is even better than any of the popular bottled sauces! ---plan ahead this sauce must be made one day in advance to allow the flavors to blend and intensify, don't even think about using it the same day it is made, this sauce will take on a whole different flavor when simmered for 1 hour and left overnight in the fridge--- the ingredients can easily be doubled but keep the garlic amount no more than 2 tablespoons, and for the best flavor use only Heinz ketchup and a good quality brand of yellow mustard, I use French's mustard it really will make a difference in the taste, please do not omit the liquid smoke --- yield is only estimated as the sauce will reduce after simmering for 1 hour or more ---*NOTE* for a smoother low fat sauce omit the oil, onion and fresh garlic, then in the saucepan mix all remaining ingredients together and add in 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder then simmer for 1 hour -----you will love this sauce!

I guarantee you are going to *love* this! This makes a perfect brunch or weeknight dinner, to save time brown the sausage a day ahead.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for good quality sausage, cheese, and eggs.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooked sausage will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is no longer pink in the center.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses will give your casserole a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Don't skimp on the eggs: Eggs are what bind the casserole together and give it a custard-like texture. Use at least 6 eggs for a 9x13 inch casserole.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to your casserole. Try adding diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
  • Bake the casserole until it is set in the center: A toothpick inserted into the center of the casserole should come out clean when it is done.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it to hold its shape when you cut it.
