Dear Sis,
Our neighbors gave us a cabbage a few weeks ago. I haven’t bought cabbage in the better part of a decade because Josh doesn’t enjoy it, but since this one just showed up I decided to turn it into an old family classic.
Great Grandma's Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 head of cabbage
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 lb. ground turkey breakfast sausage
- 1 onion chopped
- 1/2 c rice uncooked
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed tomato soup
Instructions
- Core and boil cabbage, pulling off leaves as they cook and soften.
- Brown meat and onion. Stir in rice and diced tomatoes.
- Wrap meat mixture in cabbage leaves.
- Combine soup and 1 cup cabbage water. Pour over cabbage rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes at 350.
Notes
Great Grandma used ground veal and pork breakfast sausage instead of turkey.
We invited Carter’s family to help us eat it all up. Mama Jenn was kind enough to make and bring mashed potatoes to go with it. We had your Cheater Apple Dumplings for dessert. Your batch is too big for our family, so I always make a half batch instead.
Cheater Apple Dumplings
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) can crescent rolls
- 2 apples peeled, cored, and quartered
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1 (7.5 oz) can Mt. Dew soda
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Butter a square baking dish.
- Wrap each apple slice in a crescent roll and arrange in prepared pan.
- Combine sugar, butter, and vanilla. Spread over rolls. Pour soda into the corner of the dish carefully, so it doesn't disturb the sugar mixture.
- Bake 30-35 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Love,
b
