Simplify classic Eastern European cabbage rolls in one pot with Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls for a quick and delicious meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 pound 90/10 lean ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small head (about 1 1/4 pounds) green cabbage, chopped (8 cups)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8.5 to 8.8-ounce) package microwavable white rice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill and/or parsley, plus more for garnish
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat, until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine cabbage, tomatoes, and seasonings in a pot: Cook cabbage until wilted for about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for about 15 minutes until cabbage is tender.
  • Combine uncooked rice into the skillet mixture and cook uncovered for about 2 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, stir in herbs, garnish with more herbs, and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. If you enjoyed the recipe, please leave a rating and comment!
