Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls (Mom's lazy cabbage rolls)
Unstuffed cabbage rolls couldn't be easier to make! My lazy cabbage rolls are a well loved reader favorite! It's a dump and bake recipe made all in one pot! With all the Authentic flavors of a traditional cabbage roll only deconstructed! We love this with a generous dollop of sour cream and dill!
Equipment
- 1 7-quart dutch oven, (or large pan) a 19x11 disposable works great!
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of green cabbage, outer leaves removed (about 2 pounds)
- 2 lbs ground pork, (beef, turkey, or chicken)
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice, (**see notes for brown rice)
- 2 carrots, (julienned)
- 1 onion, (diced)
- 12 oz tomato sauce (1 1/2 cups) , diluted with 2 cups water
- 3 whole bay leaves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tbsp garlic salt
Instructions
Dump and bake:
- Place the shredded cabbage, raw ground meat, 1 cup of uncooked rice, shredded carrots, and diced onion into a large disposable baking pan or 7-quart dutch oven.
- Add 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce diluted in 2 cups water, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 Tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1/2 Tbsp garlic salt. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Bake covered at 350°F for 1.5 hours. Serve with sour cream.
Notes
- This recipe works in the Costco disposable 19x11 foil pans.
- You can get away with 1 pound of ground meat in this recipe.
- **Brown rice needs to cook longer. Let this bake an additional 30-45 minutes if using brown long-grain rice.
- Parboiled rice can be used too. Simply add it in step 1 like you would with the uncooked rice. If you want to use leftover cooked rice omit the rice and add it to the last 30 minutes of cooking time. You will need 3-4 cups of cooked rice.
