I used this as well I got the recipe when I went to Penzey's in St. Paul, MN. I add more cabbage however, I think the spices are fine but I truly never measure anything...It was a real crowd pleaser even for my picky brother who came to dinner one night. I serve it over brown rice because I am a cabbage roll fan. Its basically the same but not all the work. LOVE IT.

My family really enjoyed this. It was MUCH LESS labor intensive than cabbage rolls but tasted just as good. I made a few modifications for my family as follows: used 93% fat free ground turkey and omitted caraway seeds and the water for a 14 oz can of chopped stewed tomatoes. Also added 3 Tbs of ketchup. I made this 3 days ahead of time so I did not simmer the ingredients at the end. I placed it into a sprayed casserole and covered until ready for use. Baked the casserole covered for 30 minutes at 350 and served with steamed white rice. My family loved it and it was a great make ahead meal!

I love cabbage rolls but rarely make them due to the fuss factor. This recipe puts all those comforting flavors together in an easy alternative. To make this vegetarian, I used the Morningstar Farms burger crumbles in lieu of beef, adding them just before simmering for 30 minutes. The caraway was just the right amount and I liked the way the vinegar and brown sugar balanced each other. Thanks Michelle!
