Indulge in the comforting flavors of American-style cabbage rolls with a homemade twist. Tender cabbage leaves filled with a savory mixture of ground beef, rice, and spices, simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce. This hearty dish is perfect for a family dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 head of cabbage
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup beef broth

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core of the cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the outer leaves are softened. Remove the cabbage and gently peel off the softened leaves.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, cooked rice, onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Place a small amount of the meat mixture onto each cabbage leaf, roll up tightly, tucking in the sides.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Pour a small amount of the sauce into the bottom of a large pot. Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in the pot, layering as needed. Pour the remaining sauce over the top.
4. Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cabbage rolls are cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
5. Serve hot and enjoy these delicious American-style cabbage rolls with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
