This was a dish that I always begged my grandmother to make. Well, take that back, I wanted stuffed Cabbage Rolls. She always made the best stuffed rolls. I cannot match her cooking style, so I need to go to a recipe like this one. The unstuffed Cabbage rolls. This dish is still the same, just not rolled up in cabbage leaves.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 cans of diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 4 to 5 cups cabbage, chopped
How To Make Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

Saute the ground beef until it is completely cooked
SECOND STEP:
Add in the minced garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, the cabbage, the Italian Seasoning and the salt and pepper.
Stir to combine well
THIRD STEP:
Reduce the heat to simmer, cover the skillet and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cabbage is softened.
