golabki (stuffed cabbage)
I make these quite often. Because it makes a lot I sometimes freeze some for a second meal. I also give them to friends who rave about how good they are. It's my Mom's recipe and the 1/2 hamburger and pork really make this cabbage roll.

Peeling off leaves as they soften and put on a paper towel on a plate to cool. In 9 X 13 pan, or Crockpot put steamed leaves you couldn't use to make a roll on bottom of pan.

Step 3Take leaves and cut through the white vein to thin out not cut off. With leave in hand put a spoonful of meat mixture on the end were white vein has been thinned. Take white vein side and fold up over meat. Now tuck one side leave across meat mixture and than other side over meat and roll all upward. Continue till all meat mixture is used. Now layer the cabbage rolls seam side down in pan or crockpot over cabbage leaves.
