Stuffed Cabbage Rolls are hearty and tasty, filled with rice, ground meat, and cooked in a delicious tomato-based sauce!
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe is made with cabbage leaves stuffed with a flavorful mixture of ground meat and rice. After that baked to perfection in a tomato-based sauce. A delicious and filling dinner, which also freezes well, so you can meal plan and prepare it in advance. A complete meal on its own with protein, carbs, and fiber!
Casserole recipes are a staple around here, and this one is definitely a favorite. I like how this classic dish is so easy to prepare, and a great way to use some leftover rice. Since this recipe is so popular on the blog, we have made a slow cooker version for you to enjoy. Also, if you are short on time, we recommend you try this Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe. It has the same great flavors, but it cuts down the prep work.
The cabbage leaves themselves are not so flavorful, but they make a nice and sturdy wrap whose flavor simply matches the beefiness. They serve as a blanket and hold together the delicious meat mixture.
Also, I like how you can easily serve each portion of this dish in individual rolls, with no hassle and great presentation.
While the recipe has a few steps, they are totally worth it. First, I encourage you to make a double batch of homemade tomato sauce. Because it is so good, and you can store it in the fridge and use it on pasta during the week. This way you plan in advance and save yourself some extra effort!
