I have 2 recipes saved that look good to me (sorry but I don't know where they came from). I haven't made either one, so I can't vouch for them, they are not tried and true by me. Hopefully someone will post one that they have actually made and can recommend - but honestly, I think that any casserole with ground beef can't be all bad :)

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE

It was delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef.

Made a double batch.. So I doubled this recipe.

1 lb natures promise ground turkey

Handful of minute rice

1 xlg egg

salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

l large head cabbage coarsely chopped.

handful of golden raisins

1/2 c dark brown sugar

1/4 lemon juice.. I used fresh or I use minute maid.

1 large can Hunts tomato sauce

1 can petite diced tomatoes

Mix ground beef or turkey with rice, egg, spices.

I used canola spray, and cooked that into small meatballs or small patties and added a little low sodium chicken broth to simmer after browned.

Take out of pan and put aside.

I chopped the cabbage and put it into the pot with tomato sauce and diced tomatoes raisins sugar and lemon juice. I do not add salt since there's already a lot of salt in the canned tom sauce. I think that's it. Adjust the taste to your liking. more or less sugar or lemon juice. etc. or a little more meat or cabbage.

I crumble in the turkey and let it simmer til done.. Cabbage will be soft. I left it on low and it took care of itself.. It freezes very well and I will freeze some since I made a double batch tonight.. I give some to my aunt since she hates to cook.

UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook, stirring, until ground beef is no longer pink and onion is tender.

Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.

Add the chopped cabbage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cabbage is tender.

Yield: Serves 6 to 8.

(NOTE - ADD SOME RICE TO ABSORB SOME JUICE)

Thank you! I'm not going to use rice or sugar because I'm doing low carb (15/day), should I just cook down the tomatoes sauce a little more or do you think it will be fine without doing anything more?

My Grandma used to serve her galumpki with sour cream so I'm going to put some of that on top.

Lucille, I would leave out the water if you're not doing the rice. Or maybe just cut back a bit on the tomato sauce if it seems too thin. Or drain the juice from diced tomatoes. Hope you enjoy! Now I'm in the mood too and I have never made either one of these, but I'm making up a shopping list now.

Sounds good. My comfort food on a cold winter day is sausage and cabbage.

Sausage and Cabbage
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive
Oil**I don't use it as the grease from the sausage is sufficient.
1 lb. link sausage **I prefer Italian sausage
1 head of fresh, tender cabbage chopped **I buy the pkg pre shredded without the carrots
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 cabbage and seasonings. Cook until the cabbage wilts
down. Serve immediately

Perfect Chloecat, now Lucille doesn't have to fuss around with more or less water or cooking it down too long. Thanks.

I make a sausage and cabbage using andouille.

ETA: Sliced onions also.

I just finished making it, (I started cooking the meat and onions as soon as I posted, figuring they would be included in any recipe) and it came out perfect, I was thinking that it would take a long time but it didn't. Even though the cabbage cooked down it is a lot, does it freeze well?

Which one did you make? The one I posted does freeze well.

Yours and Janie's second recipe are pretty similar, the recipe ended up making enough for 7 dinners including today. I appreciate the fast posts so I could use the info for tonight's dinner.

I bought the ingredients for the sausage and cabbage with onions tonight. I have some good smoked sausage with green onions love it.
