My dad made the stuffed cabbage but used ground beef for it instead. It was an old family recipe.
He used equal amounts of cooked ground beef and rice. Added a little chopped up bacon. Rolled the mixture in the cabbage leaves (which isn’t nearly as easy as it sounds), put them in a buttered casserole dish, poured the stewed tomatoes on top and baked it for about an hour.

I have much more success if I steam the leaves a bit before I try to wrap. Mmmm Mmmm, getting anxious for those cabbages to grow to harvesting size...
