Old Fashioned Stuffed Cabbage Rolls Recipe

Serving Suggestions

Once the cabbage rolls are done, serve them hot with some of the flavorful tomato sauce from the Dutch oven spooned over the top. These rolls pair beautifully with a side of mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or a light salad. For an extra touch, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley or dill over the top just before serving for a burst of color and flavor.

Tips

• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce or omit the cayenne pepper in the filling.
• For extra flavor, you can substitute the ground beef and pork with ground turkey or chicken, though the texture and richness will be different.
• To make the process easier, prepare the cabbage rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. This allows the flavors to meld even further.
• Leftover stuffed cabbage rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They also freeze well for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop before serving.
