Delicious and savory stuffed cabbage rolls recipe

These American-style stuffed cabbage rolls are a hearty and comforting dish, perfect for a cozy family dinner. The tender cabbage leaves are filled with a flavorful mixture of ground beef, rice, and spices, then simmered in a tangy tomato sauce until tender and delicious.

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the head of cabbage and place the whole head in the boiling water. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the outer leaves start to soften. Remove from water and allow to cool.
