Cabbage Rolls - Made My Way

Got 45 minutes to spare? This easy and delicious cabbage roll recipe is worth every minute! As with any recipe, you can alter the salt content, or add fresh garlic to it. This is cabbage rolls MY WAY.

YOU NEED:
1 Organic cabbage (preferably Savoy)
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 jar sauerkraut
5-6 slices of black forest ham
1/4 cup rice
1 Litre Caesar Drink (Clamato)
1 Small onion (chopped)
Paprika
Salt
1 or 2 bay leaves

Cut out the hard part of the cabbage. I cut a "square" shape. Put the cabbage in a pot of hot water that is on low heat. While that is heating, prepare your meat mixture.

MEAT
Use equal parts ground pork and ground beef. Add rice and salt. In a pan, saute the onions until they're translucent. Then add salt and Paprika. How much paprika? I'd say a few dashes.
Then add the sauted onions to the meat mixture and mix

ROLL
Take the leaves out of the pot of water one at a time. Slice off the "spine" so it's easier to roll.
Pack the meat into one end and roll it. Tuck in the ends

STACK
Stack the cabbage rolls "snugly" in the crock pot, directly on top of black forest ham. Add 1-2 bay leaves. Pour approx 1/3 jar of saerkraut on top. Pour your ceasar mix. It should cover the cabbage rolls. Cook for 4-6 hours as desired. Serve.

I like to cool mine and eat them the next day. For some reason, these always taste better the following day once the flavours have marinated.

Yep! You're welcome :)
