"Lazy" Cabbage Rolls

These are my favourite flowers........Lily-of-the-Valley..... this is why I posted a photo of them. This year I can enjoy them as they have covered most of the back of my backyard. In the years before my doggy Teesha [RIP] use to stomp all over them........so I really could not enjoy them, for some reason she liked to just lie down and take a nap on them, causing them not to grow or bloom. I guess it was cool for her because she was Siberian Husky and was hot with that fur coat. Or she just liked the aroma of them while she was napping.

I love the smell of them, I put a vase full of them in the kitchen and it has filled the air with that floral smell that I love.

Now to my Foodie recipe for this week. I chose Lazy Cabbage Rolls as my background is Ukrainian, and what Ukrainian doesn't eat Cabbage Rolls. I still have to make a visit to the Ukraine as I've never been and would like to have a taste of the real Cabbage Rolls.

I don't like the tedious job of separating all those cabbgae leaves to roll them so when I found this recipe I usually make them like this. But for special Holidays at least once a year I get out the big old cabbage and roll them up like you are supposed to do originally. Who has time, but this recipe is fast and easy and I always have the ingredients on hand.

"LAZY" CABBAGE ROLLS

2 lbs. lean ground beef

1 large onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

2 cans tomato soup condensed, [I use Campbells]

2 cans water from soup

1 cup raw rice

6 cups cabbage, shredded

Shredded Cabbage.......I just buy a bag of Cole Slaw mix and use that......... it saves time.

Saute beef with the onions, garlic and then add parsley.

When cooked add the raw rice, tomato soup and 2 cans water, mix well to combine.

On bottom of greased 9 x 13 baking pan spread the shredded cabbage and pour on top the beef rice mixture.

Cover with foil and bake at 325 deg. F. for 1 1 /2 hours.

I already had a piece............yummmmm!

Be sure and visit these other Foodies and see what everyone has on their plates for today.
