South of the Border Stuffed Cabbage

[Chosen Daughter]

I made that name up.  LOL!

Core a head of cabbage and put it in boiling water.  As the leaves begin to soften pull them off and place on a plate.

2 pounds of hamburger.  I used Grass Fed.

1-1 1/2 Cup chopped onion (1 whole sweet onion)

bunch of cillantro (Use as much as you like)

Fresh chopped tomatoes.  Roma's are good because they are firm.  Add as much as you like.

One large or two smaller jalepeno's chopped (more if you like to kick things up a notch)

Chopped garlic.  As much as you want.

1  Cup Simply Heinze Ketchup with no artifitial sweetners

Salt, pepper and garlic powder


Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.


Grease a casserole dish.  I use the olive oil spray.  Pam is not good for you.  Preheat oven to 350.


 Use a knife to cut out rest of the core on leaf.  V cut. Place a good portion of meat on cabbage leaf and roll it up.  Placing it lengthwise in your dish.

Cover with tin foil and bake (1 hour?)  Check internal temperature after 45 minutes

Topping:


Top with Pico De Gallo and grated Mozerella cheese.


This is my recipe.  I can't remember how long I baked them.  I am thinking about an hour then I put the the topping and uncovered them and bakes for another 15-20.

My Serbian husband (grandson of immigrants) makes cabbage rolls the way his mother and aunts did it, just like Stari Kraj (old country). He'd not be amused by TexMex style, though I'd probably like it.

That sounds wonderful.  TexMex is pretty much my family's default.
