Cabbage Rolls -

Take a cabbage and separate the leaves - can be tricky but you'll get it - steam long enough to be able to roll without cracking. Brown some hamburger, onions, salt and pepper in a frying pan and add a small amount of rice (if you like it alot add more). We're cooking here - use your discretion. Now scoop some into each of your steamed cabbage leaves, roll up and place on top of a saurkraut lined casserole dish. After all are in the dish - pour a can of chopped/diced tomatoes on top and top up with some tomatoe juice (you can use V8 if you have it on hand). Bake in a 350 degree oven and serve with buttery mashed potatoes. A hearty meal for a cold night. You can use your slow cooker but don't overcook them . My Dad's family called these Holubstsi which is the Ukranian name for stuffed cabbage and they always served them at Christmas along with the turkey, my ex sister in laws family always served them Christmas Eve with Perogies (neither family was Ukranian - go figure). If you don't like saurkraut - don't use it. Can be frozen for a quick meal another night. Enjoy
