I've never made them, but I think I'd make porcupines and stuff them in the cabbage leaves and pour a box of V-8 tomato/basil soup over them and bake. Just a guess, though.

don't make cabbage rolls

but I do love this recipe and use italilan sausage casing removed

Sausage and Cabbage
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 lb. link sausage (all natural chicken sausage with no antibotics if you can find it)
1 head of fresh, tender cabbage (organic if you can get it), chopped
1 medium sweet onion. chopped
salt and pepper to taste
a hit of cayenne pepper

Chop the sausage into 1" pieces. Brown the sausage in a skillet with the olive oil. When sausage is browned well, add in the onions and cook until tender. Then add in the cabbag and seasonings. Cook until the cabbage wilts down. Serve immediately.

I can vouch for Glenda's recipe. It's delicious!

I remember reading a recipe once for stuffed cabbage roll casserole. Instead of stuffing the cabbage you layered it in a casserole and baked. Said it was much easier--??

Cabbage Roll Casserole
1.5 lbs hamburger
6 cups raw cabbage (sliced/diced)
1 onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 can tomato soup
Fry onion and hamburger til done. Put half in casserole, top with 3 cups cabbage, then more hamburger and top with remaining cabbage. Mix tomato soup with 1 can water. Pour over cabbage and bake in 350 degree oven til done, for at least one hour. About half way thru the baking time, stir and finish baking.
**I sometimes will use 2 cans of soup or use a 8-10 oz can of V-8 juice with one can soup**

I posted this last month, but I'm going to cheat and post it here again:

CABBAGE GOULASH

I can do cabbage soup! I make this and keep in the freezer.

Hearty Cabbage Soup

In a large dutch oven saute 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion, chopped, 1/2 cup diced celery, 1/2 green pepper, chopped.
Cook until redness is gone.

Add:
salt and pepper
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp paprika
basil, red pepper flakes; anything else you feel like.
l large can tomatoes
1 can tomato paste

2 cups beef broth
3 tbsp parsley flakes
2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup diced carrots

Combine thoroughly, simmer 1 hour uncovered.

Add 6-7 cups chopped cabbage (1 small head). Combine and simmer 1 hour longer, covered. May need to add 1-2 cups more hot water.

Aha! I did find a cabbage-roll casserole in my files!

Cabbage Roll Casserole, in the Slow-Cooker
A filling, easy meal and no rolling of cabbage rolls! Can be prepared the night before.

1 1/2 lb ground beef
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
salt and pepper
1 large can tomato sauce
1/2 to 1 cup water, depending on the consistency you like
1/2 cup rice
4 cups shredded cabbage
1/3 cup tomato juice or water

In a large skillet saute onions and garlic until tender add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains.
Add garlic, salt and pepper, paprika and any other spices for added flavour.

Drain excess fat, add 1/2 the tomato sauce and the water. Mix well and add rice, stirring to combine.

Place half the meat mixture in to slow cooker, top with half the cabbage, meat then rest of the cabbage. In a small bowl combine remaining tomato sauce and tomato juice (or water). Mix well and pour into slow cooker. Cook on low 8-10 hours until bubbling and heated through.

Oh Jasdip reminded me someone here posted a Cabbage Roll Soup on one of our favorite soup posts. I save it and have made it a few times now and I love it. Was it Craftyshe's recipe? Whose ever it is, this is how I saved it.

Cabbage Roll Soup

1 lb ground beef
1 onion

Put in soup pot & brown hamburger & onion.
Then add:
6-8 cups beef broth
1 can diced tomatoes
oregano or Italian spice to taste
1/2 cup rice
1/2 cabbage, shredded.

Simmer for at least an hour

When I make this recipe, I usually at least double it or more then freeze in
individual servings to take on lunches.
