Ingredients

  • 1  large head cabbage, core removed
  • 1  lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef
  • 1/3  cup uncooked instant white rice
  • 1/3  cup milk
  • 1  egg
  • 1  teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon pepper
  • 1  cup beef broth
  • 1/2  teaspoon caraway seed
  • 1/2  cup milk
  • 1/2  cup sour cream
  • 1  tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4  cup cooked bacon pieces (from 2.1-oz package)

Directions

  1. Fill 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven half full of water. Heat to boiling. Place whole cabbage in water, core side down. Cover; cook 2 to 3 minutes, turning over once, or until leaves can be removed from head. With slotted spoon remove cabbage from water. With tongs, carefully remove 6 leaves from head. Save remaining head of cabbage for later use. Shave or trim part of the thick rib from each leaf. Return leaves to water; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until wilted.

  2. In medium bowl, mix ground beef, uncooked rice, 1/3 cup milk, the egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the ground beef mixture on thick end of each cabbage leaf. Roll up, tucking sides in. Place filled cabbage leaves in 12-inch skillet, seam side down. Add broth and caraway seed. Cover; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center of ground beef mixture reads 160°F.

  3. With slotted spoon, place cabbage rolls on serving platter; cover to keep warm. In small bowl, mix 1/2 cup milk, the sour cream, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper with wire whisk. Pour into skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Serve sauce over cabbage rolls; sprinkle with bacon.

Tips & Notes

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    No change.

  • Tip

    Shaving part of the thick rib from each cabbage leaf makes it easier to shape the roll.

  • Tip

    Use the rest of the head of cabbage to make coleslaw. Just cut into fine shreds and mix with your favorite coleslaw dressing.
