UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLL

This is a quick and easy main dish. My kids don't even like cabbage, but they love this. I usually try to serve it with green beans, new potatoes, corn, and a pan of corn bread. They eat over half the pan every time. Also, the longer it stands the better it tastes.

  • Serve the cabbage rolls hot, with your favorite sauce or gravy.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth and omit the ground beef.
