Grew up eating golumpki. Yes I'm mostly Polish, but always wanted more sauce on them and didn't like the 'mushiness' of the burger inside. This is the version I came up with and hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 head green cabbage, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

  • teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup white rice

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup (such as Campbell's)

  • 1 (32 ounce) container crushed tomatoes (such as Hunt's)

Directions

  1. Boil cabbage in a stockpot until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix salt, parsley, onion powder, and black pepper into ground beef.

  3. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir tomato soup and crushed tomatoes together in a bowl.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Combine cabbage, seasoned ground beef, rice, and tomato mixture together in a bowl; transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 45 minutes.

Chef's Notes

This recipe uses a lot of sauce. If you like the traditional golumpki version, you may want to reduce the amount of sauce. I happen to dislike the old family recipes that are very dry.

I put the brand names of the sauces in the recipe because they are my personal preferences, and I love the flavors.
