***THIS PROCEDURE IS MUCH EASIER IF YOU PAR BOIL THE CABBAGE FIRST AND LET IT COOL BEFORE ROLLING THE MIXTURE IN*****

Mix 1 lb. of ground beef or chuck with 1 lb. of breakfast sausage and 1 cup of uncooked white rice. Using the large outside leaves of a cabbage, cut the wide parts of the stem out, place 1/2 cup of your meat mixture in the center and roll up. You may need toothpicks to keep them from opening back up. Place seam side down in a large casserole dish. Spread 1 lb. of sauerkraut on top of the cabbage and add either 2 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes with juice OR 1 large 28 oz can of the diced tomatoes spread evenly over the top of the kraut. Fill your empty cans with the same amount of water as the weight of the can or cans of diced tomatoes and pour the water evenly over the top. Seal tightly with foil. Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 1 hour (mine took 1 hr 45 minutes) Serve and enjoy!

well hi everybody this is Linda and welcome back to hints that cook pull up your chair and we’re going to do an easy recipe that was given to me by one of my subs and her name is Donnell and Thank You Donald for letting me do this recipe now I started a ahead of time this is going to be cabbage rolls so I went ahead and got this mixed and it’s 1 pound of hamburger I use chuck okay 1 pound of ground chuck one pound of breakfast sausage I used hot you can use mild use whatever you want and 1 cup of white raw rice and I got all that mixed together then I took apart and here’s the rest of it over here in this colander I took apart of cabbage and I cut the heavy part of the core out of it which comes it would have been down here I cut it out and I forgot my measuring cup because I don’t want to touch this well goodness gracious here they are now it says to put a half a cup of the mix in each leaf well you know I got big leaves and small leaves and of course I’m gonna try to do the big leaves first so I just took this out of the fridge there we go set it in the center and I think I need to turn this around yeah you’re gonna start with the inside well that’s a lot that’s a half a cup I doubt if it’s even a half a cup all right you’re going to come down with the the part that was closest to the cabbage you’re gonna come over and over and then roll it here’s your cabbage roll this one’s not too neat looking but it will be and then I have sprayed you’re gonna put the seam side down I sprayed a 9 by 13 casserole dish and see I’ve got some little leaves too but I’ll use the big leaves first wow these are some big leaves here I’ll do one more for you then I’m going off-camera to finish up trying to figure out where that went I don’t really know like it doesn’t belong at all so I don’t think I’m gonna use 1/2 a cup clean hands guys if you’re using your hands as I am best tool in the kitchen and they said it’s easier to roll away from you so rolling that and then both sides in and then roll again and it’s going seam side down in my casserole dish all right one more don’t worry if you got look bitty holes in it it’s not gonna hurt anything now you don’t add really any salt or pepper to this mixture because um the sausage seasons it all right so you take the part that you actually cut the stem out of and fold it and you’re gonna fold this in and all this in and then get that end and fold it down and put that side down in your casserole dish you got that we’ll be back I got all my cabbage rolls done I didn’t I had more meat than I had cabbage so I had to make do with some small leaves and I just stuffed them all in there this is a two pound jar of sauerkraut but I’m only going to use one pound I’m just going to divide it in half and put it on top of these cabbage rolls what in the world is in this cabbage just kind of get it in there and then you can spread it around a little bit one pound out of a two pound jar pre-heat your oven I didn’t think I told you preheat your oven to 350 degrees oops-a-daisy here’s one more there we go all right I think that’s enough kraut a little on this one now I have a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes now I got you in here that is going on top of all of these cabbage rolls and then I’m going to put this 28 ounce can half full of water and that’s going on top of that I cover it tightly with aluminum foil now if you want a salt and pepper you can I’m not going to I’m going to cover this tightly with aluminum foil it’s going in that 350 degree oven for one hour and when they get done I will bring you back well–we’re bad guys and before I have Sam taste this I have to tell you that I should have filled up the entire can with water then you can either use two fourteen point whatever cans of the diced tomatoes or one large one like I did if you use the large one the whole can gets filled with water if you lose use the two fourteen ounce cans then you fill the can up twice and here’s our cabbage rolls don’t take a look delicious mmm I’ll put a little bit of this juice over some of them well I minced entirely you know I’ve been under the weather that’s why I hadn’t made any videos I’m trying to get well and I got Sam sitting over here excuse me he’s gonna he’s gonna give these a taste I’m not sure if I’ve ever had any cabbage or maybe I might need to give you a knife I’m not sure I’ll give you one just in case all right let’s get over here mmm you know what they’re very tender you may need salt and pepper watch out there’s toothpicks toothpicks yeah I had to use them so there’s one in that one well I don’t see it right right here oh yeah I want probably another one I don’t see one right away you can get any of the me mmm I got some of the cabbage I’m Lily oh those toothpicks well I can see so y’all have you ever met somebody so vain they won’t wear glances right neither I can see fine except I can’t see close up but you need to see close up right now don’t you yeah our file rate of paper well I love these you did yeah I don’t think I’ve ever had before they’re delicious yeah well I bake them at 350 for one hour y’all mmm if you want me to put the recipe below I will do that for you yeah people this isn’t this isn’t delicious it’s got a unique taste to it I guess that sauerkraut gives it that huh is the rice cooked [Music] mmm yeah it’s all dente but it’s cooked it’s a little rubber face today oh good I’m glad to hear that sound we got oh you saw how easy it was to make you shouldn’t have any trouble with it at all this has got great flavor it’s oh I love that song how could and I believe it would be very healthy broke that one watch out for those toothpicks well I can’t see them so I guess I’ll just beat eat it there yeah yeah for something different it tastes very good this this may be just the thing does it need something pepper not for me you might need what else is going on Sam well there’s not too much happening see if y’all can solve this little ditty when you walk into a restroom if you’re an african-american going into a restroom and you’re an african-american coming out of the restroom what are you while you’re inside the restaurant your opinion that’s kind of a little corny but they’re hard to find these days well y’all thank you for tuning in today I’m sorry I haven’t made a video in a while but you can’t I’ve been sick and it’s been just been hanging on hanging on hanging on but anyway I appreciate you I love you my new subs my old subs I’m glad to have you in watching every time I I do upload a video if you like this one give me a thumbs up it’s easy enough and Sam says it’s good I hadn’t tasted it yet mmm delicious and subscribe if you haven’t and hit the little bell that comes up so you’ll be notified every time I upload a video so until next time you all take care and God bless every one of you y’all I didn’t this cabbage wasn’t done enough for me so um I put it back in the oven and I think it’s because I had such a small container casserole dish it should have been larger they were too compact in there so anyway I put it on another 45 minutes and it is done now and it is delicious and Donna thank you again for this recipe it’s easy and enough and we’re enjoying it so that’s just a heads up it took mine a lot longer if you have a small container and they take yours longer too but everything’s cooked the rice and the meeting and I used hot breakfast sausage because that’s what I had but if I make it again it will be with the mild but it’s still delicious it’s all right god bless all of you
