Add sauerkraut , tomatoes and remaining chopped cabbage. Repeat layering process, leaving layer of tomatoes and sauerkraut on top. If using paste, fill pot with water til rolls are covered. If using tomatoes or juice, water may be added too.
  • Bring pot to boiling, cover tightly and simmer gently for 11/2-2hours or til cabbage is tender.
  • Measure out 1 cup of cooking liquid. Mix 2 tablespoons of melted shortening or oil and 2 tablespoons of flour in saucepan. Gradually add the cooking liquid. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and bubbles for 1 minute. Pour over cabbage in pot; simmer 5 minutes.

The cabbage rolls took longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.

The cabbage rolls fell apart when I tried to serve them. I think I rolled them too tightly.

The cabbage rolls were a bit too oily for my taste. I will try draining the ground beef more thoroughly next time.

I found the cabbage rolls to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the filling and they were much better.

The cabbage rolls were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. Next time I will use less vinegar.

I used ground turkey instead of beef and the cabbage rolls were still delicious. I also added some chopped mushrooms to the filling.
