  1. These were really good. Cabbage rolls are one of my faves, and I went searching for just the right recipe. THis is it! I like the idea of using V8 rather than just tomatoe sauce, and the brown sugar, and worcestershire sauce give a nice flavor. Instructions may seem lengthy; but it's actually fairly simple. The steps work well simultaneously. Cook time is long, but this is good for a sunday or long day dinner.
     
  2. cabbage rolls are not meant to be spicy. it is a bland food.
     
  3. I have made these twice now and plan on making them again tonight. (I don't know how I missed reviewing them!) These are really good. Each time I have made them, I have used ground turkey instead of the ground beef, and skipped the sausage. Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  4. These were the first cabbage rolls I had ever made and we loved them - my DH especially. I have to admit they are still the only ones I have ever made, but they are always welcome at our dinner table! Thanks for posting! : )
     
  5. I usually like anything by "Taste of Home" but this just really didn't do anything for us. The only change I made to the recipe was to cut it in half, when I did that I just couldn't bring myself to opening a whole can of V8 juice right at that time for a 1/4 a cup so I substituted tomato soup. I wouldn't think that would have made that much difference. The sauce was kind of bland and runny and the meat just didn't have much flavor either. Worth a try but I think there may be some better Cabbage Roll recipe's out there. Thanks!

I made this account back in 2001, when the site was called "Recipezaar". A lot has changed in my life since then. My kids are all grown and I try to eat a low-carb lifestyle now. Some of my older recipes were handed down from my grandmother. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I have. Current recipes that I post will mostly be low carb or keto.
