Beef and Cabbage (Lazy Golumpki)
Submitted by Rich Williams (‘62)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
-
⅛ 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®)
Cooking Instructions:
-
Boil cabbage in a stockpot until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Combine cabbage, seasoned ground beef, rice, and tomato mixture together in a bowl; transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 45 minutes.
Cook’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 sauce in there, because it is my personal preference and love the flavor.
