1 large cabbage, about 4 pounds
1 egg
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork

1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
salt and pepper
2 cups sauerkraut

Add sauerkraut , tomatoes and remaining chopped cabbage. Repeat layering process, leaving layer of tomatoes and sauerkraut on top. If using paste, fill pot with water til rolls are covered. If using tomatoes or juice, water may be added too.
  • Bring pot to boiling, cover tightly and simmer gently for 11/2-2hours or til cabbage is tender.
  • Measure out 1 cup of cooking liquid. Mix 2 tablespoons of melted shortening or oil and 2 tablespoons of flour in saucepan. Gradually add the cooking liquid. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and bubbles for 1 minute. Pour over cabbage in pot; simmer 5 minutes.
  • Best served the next day. Great with mashed potatoes and seeded rye bread.
  • Can be prepared in slow cooker on low for 6-8hours.
  • Canned tomatoes or tomato juice can be substituted for paste.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I think I just added too much paprika. Next time, I'll use less paprika and see how it turns out.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of ground pork. The cabbage rolls were still delicious, and I loved the texture of the tofu.

I added some chopped bacon to the filling, and it was amazing! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor to the cabbage rolls.

I'm not a big fan of ground pork, so I used ground beef instead. The cabbage rolls were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with ground pork.

This is a great recipe for a make-ahead meal. I made the cabbage rolls ahead of time and froze them. Then, I just thawed them and baked them when I was ready to eat.
