My grandma was from Hungary so Cabbage Roll is a dish I've enjoyed my whole life. Grandma’s kitchen always smelled incredible, and there was always something amazing to eat!

Ingredients:

• 1 head green cabbage
• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 1/2 lb ground beef
• 2 small onions diced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 tsp dill weed
• 3 Tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 can diced tomatoes ( 14 oz )
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups+1/3 cup tomato sauce or pasta sauce divided
• 1 can tomato soup
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Step 1: Boil cabbage leaves about 2 minutes or until soft.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 F. 

Step 3: Cook rice according to package directions, but reduce cooking time by 5 minutes so the rice is slightly undercooked. Set aside.                                                                                    

Step 4: Cook beef, pork, onions, garlic & seasonings until no pink remains. Drain any fat.

Step 5: Add in rice, diced tomatoes, 1/3 cup of tomato pasta /sauce, and salt & pepper. Stir in egg.

Step 6: Mix tomato sauce and tomato soup in a bowl.

Step 7: Spread a very thin layer of the tomato sauce mixture in a 9x13 pan.

Step 8: Remove or thin any thick stem on cabbage leaves.  

Step 9: Lay the cabbage leaf flat and add 1/3 to 1/4 cup filling to the center of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll the cabbage up. Place seam side down in the pan. Repeat with remaining cabbage leaves. 

Step 10: Pour sauce over the cabbage and cover tightly with foil.

Step 11: Bake 75-90 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving, and enjoy!
