Just found your site, again. :o)
These look so yummy. I’m saving this off for later use. We call them pigs-in-the-blanket here in Michigan, too, or Golumpki {Polish}.

I made this last night… it was soooo good! My bf had 5 rolls, but I stuck with the serving size of 2 rolls. :)

I tried this recipe for dinner tonight. It was delicious! I froze the cabbage and thawed it but it didn’t peel easily for me. Next time I’m going to stick w/ boiling it.

Awesome Shannon! Glad you liked them!

The oven would work but I just nuke them in the microwave. They came out just as good!

Thanks for the recipe, Roni!

I made these on Monday and they were excellent :) I had 2 for lunch and froze the rest for lunches later on. I was wondering the best way to reheat them? Should I just out them in the oven @ 350 degrees?

Thanks again!

I just have to second that freezing the head of cabbage first definitely makes it much easier to make stuffed cabbage. No need to boil a pot of water and handle a hot head of cabbage. :) We just made a batch last night. And I have to say that the stuffed cabbages I grew up with had rice in it. However, DH is 100% polish and they do not use rice. So the batch I made last night is without rice, which means lower points. :) Just thought I’d mention it.

I just found your blog and these look very good. Wonder if I can convince the rest of the fam? Hope so because these are on the menu now for this weekend. Thanks!

I’ve been thinking about these all week (or at least since you posted this)! I’m going to have to give in & make them tonight!

My Boyfriend’s mom makes something super similar and they call it (stuffed cabbage rolls). I wasn’t sure all that went into it but its a lot like yours just not as healthy! lol! Brandon (boyfriend) LOVES these things!!! I am gonna use your recipe since its healthier and I like the freezing tip from the others! I’m gonna use it and I can’t wait! yummy!

Those cabbage rolls look /so/ good! It reminds me so much of my mom. I must make these! We also call them pigs-in-a-blanket in Northwestern Pennsylvania as well. Must be a PA thing! :P

I love piggies! My husband doesn’t like cabbage either; what is wrong w/ these men??? lol
I can’t wait to try this recipe.

I love cabbage rolls (as my family calls them) and like what you’ve added to make them more interesting…thanks for the “renewed” recipe!!

I’ve only tried stuffed cabbage from a Lean Cuisine meal (pretty sad, right?) but this recipe looks pretty good. It has to be better than a frozen dinner, right!?

Thanks Roni…Such a comfort food from my childhood! My mom gave us a pan of them recently, and I remembered how much I like them. Now I have your directions to make it easier!

Looks yummy! Can’t wait to try it.

Where do you get all of these ideas for recipes? Pigs in a blanket in the south are hot dogs in biscuits, hahaha. Not quite the same thing.

I think Im more excited that you gave me the idea to use those packs of rice instead of cooking up rice before I make stuffed anything! lol :) Great tip! Oh and dinner looks tasty but my boyfriends family makes what they call sweet dolma and its kinda the same idea. :)

These are a comfort food for me. I love them. Hubby doesn’t care for cabbage too much so I haven’t made them in a while.

I cook them in the crockpot.

I will also try to freeze the cabbage next time. It was always a pain to boil it.

Thanks Roni! I’m going to try these tonight!!! Can’t believe how particular my hubby can be about cabbage!! We had a royal Christmas Day fight once about brussel sprouts!!! LoL!!

Totally! I just separated out servings and froze them for me since my hubby doesn’t really like them either!

I tried something like this once and I loved them, but the hubby hated the combination of cabbage and tomato. (He’s Irish so **shrug**)
When I did them they were fried as well as having a good amount of bacon and cheese crumbled on top. It was so unhealthy. I think I’ll try your way now!

Do you think they can be frozen after cooking, for meals later on if I make a batch and the hubby still doesn’t like them??

Thanks guys! I will totally try that next time!

Renee has a great point…I always freeze the entire cabbage head and upon defrosting, the cabbage leaves are pliable and ready for filling. Try it, Roni, it is a no fail procedure. Happy New Year!
