Total time: About 2 hours, including prep, baking, and resting. Servings: Makes 6 large cabbage domes, enough for 4-6 people. Customize it! Regular green cabbage, also called white cabbage in some countries, works best. Choose a large head with intact outer leaves. A slightly looser head is easier to separate, but a firm cabbage works too - just boil the leaves until tender. Use ground beef, pork, turkey, or a mix. Any melting cheese works. Broth adds flavor, but water or cabbage water works too. 🔔 New recipes every week: https://youtube.com/@YumCult 👍 Like if you enjoyed!

Remove the leaves as they soften. Keep 6 large leaves and extras for patching. Return them to the water and boil until tender; the thick part should be easy to pierce. Trim the thick stems so the leaves fold easily. Filling: Cook the onions in oil and butter until soft. Add garlic and thyme; cook for 30-40 seconds, then cool. Combine the beef, rice, egg, Worcestershire sauce, both paprikas, pepper, salt, onion mixture, and parsley leaves. Mix just until it holds together. Shape: Mix both cheeses. Line a small bowl, about 1 1/2 cups / 370 ml, with a cabbage leaf. Add filling, cheese, then more filling. Press firmly, fold the leaf over, and flip out the dome. Place seam side down in a greased dish. Repeat to make 6. Patch tears with extra cabbage. Tomato sauce: Mix the tomato paste, parsley stems, oil, garlic powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and broth until smooth. Taste and adjust; it should be balanced, not too sour. Pour over and around the domes. White sauce: Make it first if you like, so the flavors can blend. Mix the sour cream, garlic, vinegar or lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Thin with milk or half-and-half until creamy. Cover and chill. It can be made up to 24 hours ahead. Bake: Cover tightly with damp parchment or foil. Bake at 375°F / 190°C for 45-50 minutes. Uncover, spoon sauce over each dome, and bake for 10-15 minutes more. Broil briefly if needed. Rest and serve: Rest for 10-15 minutes. Serve with both sauces and parsley. If the cabbage is still firm: Cover again. If the sauce looks thick, add a splash of broth or water. Bake for another 15-25 minutes, covered, until tender. ⏱ Chapters: 0:00 Cabbage Rolls Without Rolling 0:24 Prepare the Cabbage 1:20 Make the Beef and Rice Filling 4:30 Shape the Cabbage Domes 6:18 Make the Tomato Sauce 7:21 Bake 7:39 Make the Creamy White Sauce 8:24 Rest and Plate 9:25 Cut Open and Taste Subtitles available in multiple languages (CC). ❤️ Share this with someone who loves cabbage rolls, ground beef, and cozy family dinners! #CabbageRolls #StuffedCabbage #CabbageRollsRecipe #GroundBeefRecipes #ComfortFood #EasyDinner #FamilyDinner #DinnerRecipe #YumCult
