For the sauce:
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 can (8 oz) of tomato sauce
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of ketchup
1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare the cabbage leaves by blanching them in boiling water for about 2 minutes, until they are slightly softened. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely diced onion, milk, beaten egg, cooked rice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
4. Take a cabbage leaf and place a portion of the ground beef mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the leaf over the mixture and then roll it up, similar to a burrito. Repeat this step with the remaining cabbage leaves and ground beef mixture.
5. In a separate bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing together the brown sugar, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and lemon juice.
6. In a baking dish, arrange the cabbage rolls with the seam side down. Pour the sauce over the rolls, ensuring they are evenly coated.
7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
8. After 45 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle your preferred cheese on top of the cabbage rolls, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cabbage rolls cool slightly before serving.
With each bite of these cabbage rolls, you’ll be transported to a place of warmth, comfort, and love.
