Beef and Cabbage (Lazy Golumpki)

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

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 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 (10.5 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 9×13-inch baking dish.

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

Cook’s Note

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.
