Sounds like the "halupky" my family makes!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even though I did not make THIS recipe I made a similar recipe for years! It is a favorite for my Slavic heritage. I felt I... must to telleveryone about this wonderful dish! Combine onion, rice, eggs,milk, bread crumbs ,salt, pepper, garlic powder,parsley and a lttle tomato sauce with ground, beef and pork. After wrapping the a half cup of meat in a cabbage leaf (which is simmered a good 20 minutes), poke a finger in one end to keep the roll together. That's a great trick to remember. The cabbage rolls are placed in a large roaster over sauerkraut and any leftover chopped cabbage. Tomato sauce, soup and juice is combined and poured over all the rolls.Extra seasoning of garlic and salt and peper can be added to the sauce. Cover the roaster and cook at 325 for a good 2 hours.It is delicious with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.Try my suggestions and I know you will get rave reviews!!Read more

TO THE PERSON WHO SAID THE CABBAGE ROLLS WERE MISSING SOMETHING,
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The cabbage must be cooked a little longer, also if after you place the rolls in the pan, add a bag of rinsed sauer kraut... along with some Hilshire Farm smoked sausage cut into approx. 4 in. pieces and you can also add short ribs of beef as well. The kraut and sausage give it a fantastic taste together. This is how I always make it and get rave reviews ea. time. Hope this helps.Read more

Pretty good with modifications!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Definitely keep your cabbage in the boiling water for longer than 10 seconds - maybe it's a typo and she meant 10 minutes?!? ... Otherwise, good stuff!Read more

Yummy if you make a few adjustments
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I saw this episode on TV and wanted to give it a try since I'd never made these before. I bought all the ingredients, but... couldn't make it until the following week. In the meantime, I read the reviews and was then pretty sure I didn't want to bother since some were so negative. Since I had no other use for a head of cabbage, I decided what the heck, might as well give it a shot. I'm glad I did. Funny, I had actually purchased a packet of pot roast seasoning vice meatloaf seasoning...and my dish came out really yummy! I do agree you need to boil the cabbage much longer than she recommends. I think I held it in the water for about 3 minutes. Also, instead of using 2 cans of tomatoes with pepper/onion as the recipe calls for, I used one can of those and one can of Rotel tomatoes (with green chiles). I also added about a 1/2 Tbsp of Tastefully Simple onion seasoning I had on hand. It's actually pretty good, and provides the kick that would probably satisfy some of the reviewers who said the recipe was bland and "missing something." I will make this again. It's not my favorite, but it's easy, pretty quick, feeds a bunch of people, and will be great for dinners on nights I don't have time to make something else. So: try the pot roast seasoning and a can of Rotel. It's pretty good! Read more

Damn Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used different seasoning for the meat for additional kick. a couple reviews were right on to cook the cabbage a wee bit... longer. A deeper dish is needed for all the good stuff but over all really good. Leftovers are great after all the flavors have a chance to marry. Overall pertty yummy and not hard to do.Read more
