Unstuffed Cabbage
Marvin Zimble
Food Editor's comments: If you like stuffed cabbage, you can now have it a lot more often! This has all the yummy taste of stuffed cabbage, but none of the drudgery of preparing the cabbage leaves, stuffing, and rolling. Simple and delicious! Perfect for lunch or supper, especially during the cold weather season. This recipe makes a lot and you can freeze it in smaller portions to have ready when the mood strikes you. Thank you to Julie's Uncle Marvin, for sending us this recipe!
