Golumpki~ Polish Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

As promised here is the recipe for my favorite comfort food: Polish Golumpki. I make this in bulk usually and freeze them raw and my family has this for dinner a few times a month!

My mother in law is 1/3 Polish BUT if you were to ask her she is 100% Polish. Her son, my husband is by far no way 100% of anything but if you were to ask her- he is all Polish boy! ..... okay then.... this is where I roll my eyes.......onto the recipe. lol.

Golumpki

Ingredients:

1 head of cabbage

2 cups cooked rice

2 lbs meatball mix (beef, pork, veal) or a mix of beef and pork

1/2 cup onions, minced

1 cup water

salt and pepper (only a smidge, I leave that to each persons taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 10 oz can tomato soup

1 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup

Directions:

Take as much of the core out of the head of cabbage. Place cabbage in a large pot of boiling water and boil until the leaves are pliable and can be removed from the head easily.

Put the meat mix in a large bowl and add the 2 cups of rice, and onion. Add water, salt and pepper and garlic powder. Mix with your hands (I always wear hair coloring gloves for this- yuk).

Take a hefty size tablespoon full and place on the stem part of the cabbage leaf. Bring each side of leaf over into middle and then roll, steam part towards top of leaf. Place rolls into a sprayed baking dish, seam side down. Repeat until all meat is used. 

Pour tomato and cream of mushroom soup into a bowl and mix well. Pour over the rolls.

Now you can either cover with foil and put in the freezer for future dinner or cover with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve with sliced kielbasa. 

Enjoy!!
