  • 1 Cup Cooked Long Grain Rice
  • 1 Each Yellow Onion
  • 1 Rib Celery

  • 1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning
  • 1 Each Large Egg
  • 1 (15 Ounce) Can Cream of Tomato Soup seasoned

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Place a large pot (big enough to take the whole cabbage) and fill with water. Turn on to get it to boiling point.
    1 Each Head of Cabbage
  • Chop onions, bell pepper, garlic and celery. Put into a large mixing bowl.
    1 Each Yellow Onion, 1 Rib Celery, 1 Each Green Bell Pepper, 3 Cloves Garlic
  • Add ground meat, cooked rice, seasoning and egg. Mix together using your hands (wear gloves or make sure to wash hands thoroughly afterward).
    1 Pound Ground Beef, 1 Cup Cooked Long Grain Rice, 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder, 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder, 1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning, 1 Each Large Egg, ¼ Cup Fresh Parsley
  • Once the water is boiling, carefully lower the cabbage - stem down - into the water and boil for approximately 3-5 minutes then remove.
  • Cut off the stem of the cabbage - enough to remove a lot of the bigger leaves.
  • Cut a V out of the stem of the leaf to make it more flexible.
  • Take a handful of the meat mixture and form a log.
  • Wrap the cabbage leaf around it.
  • Take a 9x13 dish and spoon a few spoonfuls of tomato soup into the bottom of the dish.
    1 (15 Ounce) Can Cream of Tomato Soup
  • Place each cabbage roll seam down into the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining tomato soup over the top of the cabbage rolls.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 90-120 mins.
