This is one of those recipes that is pretty difficult to screw up. There’s a lot of room for changing up the seasonings to suit as well.
I’ve never actually made cabbage rolls before, but I’ve watched my mother-in-law make them in the past. It seems like a lot of work if it’s just a dish you are making for an everyday low-carb meal.
Don’t expect things to hold together well in this unstuffed cabbage roll bake. Unlike the filling of regular cabbage rolls, the Miracle Rice isn’t sticky enough to bind the ingredients together.
I found this to be a comforting meal, particularly on cool rainy weather.
I hope you give this one a try. It would make a nice dish for potluck get-togethers. And, you could slow cook it in a crock pot and keep it warm during the party if you have access to a power outlet.
