YUM - Cabbage Rolls

I've made Cabbage Rolls forever! And I think I make pretty good ones! But a lady in our church (from Germany) said I wasn't doing it right! She wouldn't share her secret family recipe with me, but I found this on the internet. I added a bit of tobasco sauce, and cooked all the meats before rolling the rolls (to save baking time), but the rolls came out VERY good!

Prep. Time: 2:45

32 oz. jar sauerkraut - drained
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1 med. onions - chopped
1 Tbls. vegetable oil
16 oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups un-cooked white rice (I cooked it...)
1/2 cup milk
2 Tbls. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. garlic salt
2 heads cabbage - boiled whole until tender, cooled
(2) 10.75 oz. cans condensed tomato soup - prepared as directed
1/2 lb. raw bacon

-Spread sauerkraut in the bottom of a 13" X 9" X 2" pan; set aside.
-In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, brown beef, pork, and onion in oil.
-Stir tomato sauce, rice, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder into pan.
-Wrap 1/2 cup meat mixture in each leaf of cabbage and secure with toothpicks.
-Lay rolls on sauerkraut, pour tomato soup evenly over rolls, and lay strips of bacon over rolls.
-Bake, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 2 hours.

Update from the Author: Robbie, There are a few changes that make this even more spectacular than it already is. With the sauerkraut, if you drain it and put in a large bowl, add 3 cans of tomato soup with equal parts of water, and the bacon either ground in meat grinder or minced, and about 2 cups of the cooked meat mixture. Stir well. Pour a generous layer on the bottom of the pan. Then a layer of rolls then sauerkraut mixture. Repeat until all is used. Be sure to complete the top with a layer of the sauerkraut mixture… Mom

How To Make Cod In Cheddar Cheese

Cod in Cheddar Cheese Recipe. This cheesy variation on the traditional cod fish meal can often be a favourite with little ones who don't usually enjoy fish. Give it a try! Relish our Cod in Cheddar Cheese recipe.

• 4 cod fillets , or any white fish
• 8 oz cherry tomatoes , halved
• 5 1⁄3 oz crème fraîche (I used 1/2 pint heavy cream)
• 1 Tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 6 1⁄8 oz cheddar cheese , grated
• 1 zuchinni, cut into thin rounds (I used 3 potatoes)
• freshly ground black pepper , to taste
• salt , to taste

• First, set the grill to 350F.
• Next, put the cod into the baking dish and then add the cherry tomatoes and the zuchinni.
• To prepare the sauce, place the crème fraîche and the mustard in a bowl and combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pour the sauce over the fish, tomatoes and zuchinni and mix together. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top.
• Place it in the oven and bake for twenty minutes under the grill. When the cheese is melted and golden and the fish is no longer opaque it is ready to serve.

To use potatoes, I sliced them and layered them in a casserole dish. I cooked in the microwave for 10-20 minutes, till tender. Then add the fish, tomatoes, cream sauce & cheese and bake till fish is done.
