Stuffed Cabbage

The magic about cabbage rolls is the the meat and the rice cook in the cabbage itself. To ensure even cooking, don't use the outermost leaves of the cabbage—they don't have as much moisture. Also, don't forget to cover the baking dish with foil. You need that steam circulating!

Don't feel like rolling? Make our Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole instead. 

P.S. Are you keto? If you answered yes, then this recipe is not for you! With both added sugar (brown sugar) and carbs like rice and bread crumbs, it's tricky to adjust this recipe for the keto diet. While removing the sugar won't effect too much, removing the rice and bread crumbs will make it very difficult to roll the meat mixture into the cabbage. If you'd like to make something similar, try our cabbage burritos! Without the beans and corn, they're completely keto-friendly.
