Yummy Recipe Wednesday! (Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls)

Hello again friends and food lovers. Welcome to the first Yummy Recipe Wednesday of 2016. I hope everyone had wonderful and safe holidays. I know there are a lot of you that made losing weight your New Year’s resolution so I figured I would bring you a somewhat healthy recipe today. A couple of years ago I shared a recipe here for Golumpki, aka Cabbage Rolls, which is basically ground beef, rice, onion, and seasoning wrapped in cabbage leaves. Well today I bring you a recipe that gives you the same basic flavors without the work involved in making the actual rolls. I actually prefer this method over making the actual rolls myself due to the ease but I still like to make the rolls when I’m cooking for guests. The recipe is pretty straight forward. I believe Hunts makes Tomato Sauce with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano and Del Monte makes Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano. However, if you can’t find either of those in your store just add your own Basil and Oregano and taste as you go until it’s to your liking. That’s about all there is to say about this one. Give it a try for yourself next time you’re in the mood for some cabbage, I promise you won’t be disappointed. As always, feel free to leave comments below and be sure to follow @RecipeBlogger on Twitter, if you aren’t already, so you don’t miss a single new post.

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

• 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
• 1 Onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Medium Head Cabbage, roughly chopped
• 1 (10.75 oz) can Condensed Tomato Soup
• 1 (8 oz) can Tomato Sauce with Italian Seasonings
• 2 (14.5 oz) cans Diced Tomatoes with Italian Seasonings

1. Heat a large skillet, or dutch oven, over medium-high heat; add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic to the hot skillet and cook until browned and crumbled, about 5 to 7 minutes, then drain and discard the grease.
2. Stir in the chopped cabbage, tomato soup, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, salt, and pepper; cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on how tender you like your cabbage.
3. Stir in the sour cream just before serving and serve over cooked rice.
