Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil cabbage heads until leaves look transparent, then remove from head and allow to cool.
- Cut out the thick vein from each leaf so it won't split during cooking.
- Mix together ground beef, Italian sausage, rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into hot dog-shaped rolls just large enough to fit each cabbage leaf.
- Place each rolled mixture into a cabbage leaf, roll it up tucking in the sides, then place into a deep pot.
- Repeat the layering process: after a row is complete, top it with sauerkraut, then add another layer of cabbage rolls, and so on until the pot is full.
- Pour tomato sauce over the top, fill the pot with water enough to cover the cabbage rolls, cover with a lid, and cook for 2 to 4 hours.
