Cabbage Rolls (unrolled) and Peanut butter cake recipes
Dream Dinner:
Ok, maybe not your dream, but certainly mine and my family's!! I was given a small head of cabbage from a friend and needed to do something with it. It wasn't quite big enough to make cabbage rolls (Galumpky's if you prefer) But darn it, we wanted some!! My pregnant daughter said "Mom, we have tons of peanut butter in the cupboard, can't you make peanut butter cake?" So we had a menu in an isntant!! Galumpky's and peanut butter cake! before you get started on the cake, better get the Galumpky's started!
What you will need:
Large electric skillet with lid
Large mixing bowl
Sharp knife
measuring cup
Ingredients:
3 lbs good ground beef (ground round is perfect if you have it)
1 Large onion - chopped
1 cup uncooked rice
6 oz tomato paste

In electric skillet place the can of tomatos in the bottom, spread aournd so you have a nice layer. Add a layer of cabbage. Roll meat into balls, about 1/2 cup or so each. Place on top of cabbage, keeping separated. Layer more cabbage and 1/2 saurkraut on top of meat, pour 1/2 can of sauce over this. Finish up rolling the meat and place on top, topping with remaining cabbage, saurkraut and tomato sauce. Cover and simmer on low (200 degrees or less) for about 1 1/2 hours, until rice is tender.
