I always looked forward to my mom’s homemade cabbage rolls when I was a kid. There was something about the sticky rice, ground beef, and slightly sweet tomato sauce that made me gobble it up.

When I started making traditional cabbage rolls on my own, I had a newfound respect for the meal my mom effortlessly brought to the table. Turns out making cabbage rolls is a lot of work! Blanching the cabbage, cooking the sauce, and assembling the rolls took hours.

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe tastes just as rich, flavorful, and comforting, but is made in a fraction of the time, with barely any effort. Serve this one-pot meal over cooked rice, or omit the rice all together for a low carb option.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small head cabbage, chopped (about 6-7 cups)
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounce can tomato sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3-4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • Fresh parsley and cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large 10-inch skillet cook ground beef and onion over medium heat, for about 5 minutes. When beef is cooked and onion is translucent, drain excess liquid. Add garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds more. 
  2. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, paprika, thyme, brown sugar, salt, and pepper to skillet and stir. Add chopped cabbage and toss gently. Bring mixture to a boil.
  3. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir, recover, then simmer for 10 minutes longer, or until cabbage is tender.
  4. Remove lid and add 3 tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir and simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes, or until sauce reduces slightly. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add additional tomato paste and stir. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over cooked rice.
